Simply Saturday

Tweet

Today is a simple Saturday at our place. Back in the day, before my darling husband retired, he would work the occasional Saturday. When we were in our 30's and 40's he would work every other Saturday at the factory. The extra income was always welcome with a growing family and a couple paying off a mortgage and saving for their retirement. There was a point when things became easier for him. He is a certified health and safety trainer. He trains and certifies people on lift truck, skid steer and other workplace essentials that are required in various sectors. He is very well respected in his field, both for his professionalism, as well as for the owners knowing that they can call on him and have him there with little notice, and of course he always gives his regulars a good price cut. Today, he has gone back to the area that we used to live in. He is training at the recycling facility that a former co-worker of his (for almost 35 yrs they worked together) bought. The co-worker, Johnny, bought and then sold the business. His sons run it now, but they sold it to a large company that operates many of these facilities. Johnny's sons contacted my hubs and told him of the change of hands of the business and asked him not to extend the discount to this company. Not a bad gig for a few hours of work. Work that he absolutely loves. While he is gone, I did the grocery shopping. It was a top up week, fresh fruits and vegetables was all that we needed. I plan on removing everything on one of the shelves in the bathroom linen closet and reorganize it. I don't need him underfoot while I do that. I plan on getting some broccoli soup going while I do that. Today is a simple Saturday which takes me back 20 or 30 years. What is your day shaping up like today? ~Photo is mine
