Elaine and I decided to do the job together to begin with and then when we both were sure that we could control the animals and not forget any part of... the chores we would take turns, day on, day off. This worked out very well for about a week but then Elaine started to ask if she could take my turn. Occasionally at first but it soon developed that she was doing the dogs every day and I was left with all the horses. I also noticed that she was taking longer as the days went by. More of this. I'm scrolling my Facebook timeline when I just happened to gaze over my phone to see Max standing in the doorway eyes fixated on the bulge in my sweats. I lay my phone down on my chest and she quickly looks up at me almost surprised like and says I found it, come on and lock the door behind me. Ok i said as I got up and headed towards her. Yet again I noticed she glances down at my bulge before she turns and steps off in front of me. The short while that I've known Max I've always said that I'd. There's pancakes on the table, milk and O.J. in the fridge, and you can have some of this bacon as soon as it cools down a bit." Mmmmm... that sounds wonderful. I guess this means you still respect me in the morning?"George laughed. "You'll notice you still had clothes on." True, true. Oh, yeah, do you suppose... " Asprin's on the table next to the pancakes." I could tell he was smiling even though he was facing away from me."Excellent. How on earth are you this perky this morning?" I downed. I could've sworn I had some six inch nails in a jar. The fence needs repairing at the top of the garden. I'll have to pop into town and get more." Won't these do?" Jimmy asked, holding a box of rusty nails." No, lad, they'll not last the winter and there's no but a dozen six incher's in there. I'll need to break open the piggy bank and buy some."Jimmy grinned at his grandpa's dry wit. His grandparents were comfortably off in retirement and managed to go away two or three times a year on SAGA.
