And if you do go to France, why not stay a while at my brother's gites near the Pyrenees? See the link in my bloglist - Pyreneen Vue.

Even though it was MY income that primarily supported the family, I tried for the first 10 years to also be what I perceived a good wife would be. <br /><br />Finally I decided that wasn't for me, I really resented other people assuming that cooking and cleaning were solely my job. I was a manager over 30 people at work and a household drudge at home. I taught the son to cook and do his own cleaning. The husband wasn't teachable, alas, so he was encouraged to move to his own place, where he live at peace with his marvellous lifetime collection of junk.<br /><br />Son (25) is still here, usually with a couple of his friends. They all pick up after themselves, cook their own food, and do their own dishes. When I do clean and cook it's because I want to, and it's fun. Life is good. <br /><br />I hope everyone gets a chance to have a comfortable retirement. So far it's been a bit boring for me (3 months into it), I haven't settled into a routine that takes the place of the job. Well, except for reading blogs in the morning with my cup of coffee. Thanks, folks, for writing them.Jan Blawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697621979002856884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754404636941782233.post-5817664594115041162011-10-04T04:58:30.794-07:002011-10-04T04:58:30.794-07:00I enjoyed your day Helen!

It would take me 2 days. I HATE cleaning. Nice when it's done but I HATE the doing.<br />Your washing dried while you were having lunch! On a very good day with hot sun and wind, mine might dry in a whole day.(Well, say 11-ish until about 5-ish).<br />You like ham, don't you?!<br />A very productive day, Helsie, with plenty of relaxation mixed in. Well done.Foodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407090612662909061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754404636941782233.post-29968055950335915662011-10-04T00:53:29.484-07:002011-10-04T00:53:29.484-07:00Sounds a full and varied day you have there Helen....Sounds a full and varied day you have there Helen. I think if I documented my day I'd choose last Sunday - Got up, dressed, made packed lunch and set off for a walk. Returned home and put chicken in oven for dinner and had a shower, finished off cooking meal, ate dinner had a game of Rumikub to exercise our brains after all that physical and went to bed 9.30 ish! Most other days would be filled with faffing about achieving not a lot!!Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754404636941782233.post-58056895246508069212011-10-03T18:24:16.315-07:002011-10-03T18:24:16.315-07:00That's a pretty full day!
