Husband went out into the garden and picked cucumbers- not these. I picked these last week and they were very small. I also found a Crow feather and acorns. Hard Winter Coming. Tremendous amount of Acorns. The cucumbers he picked for me looked like the ones I buy at the grocery store. Really nice ones.
The Peaches in the bowl are finally ripe enough to make Peach Cobbler. I bought a bag of sugar on the Monday Shopping Trip.. I had a list.
The young guy stocking the Produce was very good looking.
I was thinking he looked just like the Carpenter in that book I like reading-- Part of Your World. If I had had my phone I would have asked if I could take his picture.
In the check out line- my favorite cashier asked if I had a store app. I said no. I said husband had one for the grocery- she asked for his phone number- I said "I have no idea what his phone number is" I don't. She said "don't you call him?" I said "no". She was speechless. She asked if I had a computer. Yes. Do I have apps on it? No. It's like she had finally met someone from Another Planet.
Just a 75 year old with no interests other than email and a few blogs.. Otherwise- the computer just sits unused. Oh, I did, once when the printer worked- look up recipes. Recipes I never made. No, that's not true- there was a marinade recipe I printed out and used quite often...until husband started choking on grilled meat. Daughter and I got tired of it. He choked on Thanksgiving Turkey once too many times. So we stopped having Thanksgiving Dinner and grilling meat in the Summer..
I did make all the side dishes last year for Thanksgiving. And I, alone, ate them all. I think he asked for a grilled cheese sandwich. And potato chips. And then a slice of Pumpkin Pie. This year--it will be a prepared grocery store chicken dinner. Like every other day. He grew up eating TV Dinners. I did not.

I have a cell phone for emergencies only (it came in handy during Covid when we had to start calling from the parking lot for dr appts). I am a dinosaur but I am also the girl that prints a gazillion recipes from blogs I follow and have maybe made 1% LOL!
My husband now has choked four times when eating that I had to bring him back to life. The last one was a 911 call. He gets baby food now.
I so relate to you as my life is a lot like yours.
my husband does not throw away anything! And is always collecting bits of paper and recipes and storing them in boxes. He also tears apart The New Yorker and sports mags of stories he wants to keep, illustrations he likes and they go into folders in the filing cabinet. I keep telling him we are Waaayyyy past that now in our lives but it does not sink into him.
