Late this afternoon, I decided bring Kate’s extra clothes from the car. They included the the pair of shoes she had taken with her yesterday as well as the robe, night gown, shoes, socks, and the baseball cap. It was then that I discovered a pair of garden shoes she sometimes wears, and another 4 pair of socks. I was especially glad to see the socks as they seem to disappear over time. From time to time, I discover them in various places around the house, often just one sock.
As I would putting a pair of underwear back in its drawer, I noticed something that is not unusual (at least any more). All of the underwear I had carefully folded after washing them on Saturday were all messed up. Not a one was left undisturbed. As I say, this happens after every time I wash. Another unresolved mystery.
After coming home from dinner, Kate went brushed her teeth. She took much longer than I had expected. When she came to our bedroom, she was carrying a stack of books. One was on grandparents. Another was a book of editorial cartoons from our local paper. She also had a kaleidoscope that her brother, Ken, had given her quite a few years ago. It is made in the shape of a old airplane. She hadn’t remembered that it is a kaleidoscope. She put all of them on the night table beside the bed.
