The windows are old, and though there are only three windows in the bay, between the storm windows, the screens, the upper and lower sashes...there are 30 sides to clean, so I pretend not to notice the dirt. Today I stopped pretending and went to work.
As I began the first window, Bill walked into the kitchen armed with tools and screening to replace our much loved kitchen screen door. I hadn't a clue that this was his plan for the day, just as he had none about mine. So there we worked...together... yet separate in our own pursuits.
This so defines our lives together. Something keeps us together, yet separate since our very beginnings. It is what Carl Jung calls synchronicity...that strange but fascinating happenstance of events that are related but somehow but not easily explained. I suppose it is much like finishing each others sentences, thinking similar thoughts at a similar moment. I like that about us. I wonder how people live without it.
And so we worked.....one screen door like new....
And a kitchen bay window that lets the sun shine in once again....
Then...a quick run to Ace Hardware for supplies...with Bill in his element...doesn't he look happy??
A quick run to the eye doctor to adjust Max's new glasses...
Picked up a new cuttle bone for the birds at Petsmart...stopped to visit the Budgies while we were there...they are so, so pretty....
And a stop at Panera for TWO free loaves of bread. How great is that????
