This is my sweet friend June. I have enjoyed getting to know her over the past few months. She and her husband, Martin, share a home with her youngest daughter, Liz (my wonderful buddy) and her family. Since Martin suffers with Alzheimer's June's life is mostly about his care. Her back hurts, she has sore knees, there's and issue with her blood pressure and lately she has been sidelined by migraines. Talk about endure to the end!! So if anyone had a great excuse for letting the housework suffer it would be June. Heaven knows the slightest distraction can keep me from it! Long story short, I was borrowing some sheets for a guest and happened to get a good look at the linen closet that June maintains. I was shocked! While I stood, mouth agape, staring in disbelief she fussed about how there were a few things out of order and "wouldn't it be nice if she could clean that bottom shelf up a bit". As it turns out she was just as tidy when her little ones were little. By the way gals, she bore 5 children in 6 years! My friend Liz was the caboose arriving nine years after number 5. She's not sure why but keeping a tidy place and organized space has always come easily to her. Well June, of your many talents this is one sure to impress. I love you and thanks for letting me share it.
