GLASS SLIPPER....MY EYE.











I WAS RELAXING IN MY BIG
CHAIR AND POOPSIE WALKED
THROUGH TO THE KITCHEN.

I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR
OVER 43 YEARS.....I SAW THE
LOOK IN HER EYES.

IT WAS A GLARE IF I HAVE
EVER SEEN ONE.

SHE SAID, "SWEET LITTLE MAN,
WOULD YOU COME HERE, PLEASE ?"

SHE PUT ME IN A CHAIR AND GAVE ME
A LIST (DID YOU SEE THE LIST ?)
OF THINGS SHE WANTED ME TO DO
TO HELP HER CLEAN THE HOUSE.










IT INVOLVED A LOT OF DUSTING
AND SWEEPING AND MOVING AND
WIPEING AND POLISHING AND
RUNNING THE VACCUME CLEANER
(DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE SWEEPING?)
DOING DISHES, CLEANING THE STOVE,
CLEANING THE MICROWAVE AND
TAKING THE TRASH TO THE BIG
GREEN CAN OUTSIDE.
















I NEVER KNEW THAT THERE
WERE SO MANY WAYS TO HOLD
ON TO A BROOM.

HOW CAN A HOUSE GET SO
DIRTY IN A FEW DAYS ?

IT WAS LIKE WE HAD KEPT A
HERD OF BUFFALO IN THE HOUSE
AND NOT LET THEM OUT FOR DAYS.












I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER
BE THE SAME.

BUT, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT SHE
BAKED ME AN APPLE CAKE AND IT
SMELLS SOOOOOO GOOD !

I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG I COULD
HAVE KEPT UP WITH HER....BUT....
I KNOW THAT IF A GLASS SLIPPER IS
INVOLVED....I DESERVE IT.

Got to watch out for those buffalo! I think they have set up camp in my house. Can I borrow your list? ;)
