The Hunters Widow….
Each year as the hunter
bugles blow and the truck fly out the driveway at 0 hour before dawn,.. or maybe left the night
before for ELK CAMP…
There is the moans of women,
who are left alone. But in all fairness,
there are those of us who greet it with the same venue we are in when our kids
go back to school after the end of summer… visions of sitting on the porch with
a party hat, noise maker and a large drink in our other hand, yelling WHOOPIE!!
I am that such Hunter Widow…
See I treasure it like when my husband had to go to
So when the King left on
Saturday, Sunday and Monday .. at before early dawn … (they have to get
situated to where they want to start at dawn)
I strolled out about 7ish, in
my pj’s. I got the Sunday paper and
slowly cruised thru it.. I visited You tube to watch my church video, because
of the virus…And I was kind of sluggish. Not motivated. I glanced at
Facebook…and then I saw where my daughter posted what I took as a
challenge… It was a picture of before
and after she clean out her refrigerator. Knowing how bad mine was.. I decided
to take up the non existing challenge.
As my refrigerator look like some one took a food cannon and shot it in
to the refrigerator and doors. After
about an hour and half.. I had a full garbage bag full of old food, food stuff,
that I had not used for years… and one such jar had what appeared to be tea
bags in it.. I open it and it was mold..
and I could not tell you what was in the jar originally. As it had been
deposited in the lowest shelf in the far right side… you know the never
neverland of the refrigerator… I washed
all of the shelves, and the door shelves.. and put what I really needed. A few
things I wanted. And found out I had 8
jars of Litehouse Chunky Bleu Cheese dressing.
I took the pictures of before and after….. and posted them.. and
challenged others.
And was answered 10 folds…
It was only 11:30am.. so I
thought.. while I am on a roll, I will clean out my husband’s cabinet he has
next to his chair…and a little bit next to his chair. After all ….he was gone…
And the cabinet was broke anyway. So I
took another cabinet which was slightly smaller, put in place of the broke one,
and put his stuff in there in order… All his foot lotions on one side…(he has
diabetes so has to keep check on his feet) All his sprays on the other side and slide his
little box with what ever in it.. in the middle.. shut the door. To a pile out on the floor… I rearranged the pile next to his chair, and
found a cat box, for lack of a better description…. It is round, had a place
the cat can get in to hid.. and a top to
curl up on.. covered with carpet. We
have not own a cat for 4 years. So clean
that out.. found a stool, put the stuff on top of that.. with another pile of
papers and stuff left over. I even found
his hunting knitted cap he couldn’t find… and I found his hand warmer thingie.
I went thru a good share and
threw away old papers of nothings. Phone
numbers with no names.. magazine 4 years old and catalogs about the same. I
took what I didn’t know about and put
them in a bag for him to go thru.
Waa la…. Another clean up
mess…. What can I do now.. I am on a
roll.
Oh, yea.. my summer clothes
are still out.. so got my tote of winter
and exchanged it..
And then I hear a familiar
sound… the truck.. it had return with trailer and 4 wheeler.. DANG..
DRAT!!... Ah, but there is the rest of
this week and next week…
Note to self.. make list of
to do for myself.. can’t waste this
time..
And as of today….. ELK, days
of hide and seek wins 5…… Elk Hunters 0…
