Mom sent Helen to my house with banana sandwiches and chips at noon. Today is grocery day and I had exhausted all my food.
"She's gone to get your groceries now," Helen said. "And I am so glad to be off work."
"Your house is clean, baby," Helen then said as we sat down in my den.
"I was a whirlwind yesterday cleaning everything," I replied.
"What makes your momma sleep so much?" Helen then asked surprising me.
"It is her medicine for her mental illness," I replied. "It makes her very sleepy and groggy."
"Ah," Helen said. "I didn't know that."
We then talked about what I wanted for lunch tomorrow.
"Surprise me," I told her. "Helen, you could cook a dishrag and it would taste good."
Helen finally left and I was sad to see her go. The company was nice for a moment there. Now, to wait on mom and my groceries. I have my heart set on a piece of chocolate creme pie.

Oh chocolate creme pie!!!
Instead of being a busy body, could she truely be interested and care? Or - maybe it is curiosity?
I prefer to think Helen cares about y'all . . . .
Now you've got me wanting that pie, too!

I love having all the cabinets well stocked after shopping!! :-) I wouldn't mind having a piece of that chocolate creme pie either!1
Don't be surprised if folks start showing up at your place for dessert. Speaking of dishrags, I know of a dog that swallowed an uncooked one once. His owner happened to be up at 3 AM and saw him sniffing a damp rag with interest. Before she could get to him, he wolfed it down. Re$sult: a big fat vet bill for $urgery to remove rag.
I love banana sandwiches!
