Day Fifty-One

The young woman came to work for me.  She was finished quickly and saved me hours of cleaning.  I could not imagine how she did it all so quickly.

The next day I had to go to the city for meetings.  I said good-bye to the cat and the house and to the landlord and his family. 

My landlord's housekeeper offered to feed the cat for me, to me relief and thankfulness.  When I returned, the house looked relatively neat, the cat well fed, and the yard less dusty.  

The landlord had begun to build an addition to the side porch.  He offered his housekeeper to work for me too, but the new housekeeper seemed to still want the job.  She cleaned the house and washed the clothes again.
