Family Day

On a Saturday last week, the whole family was up early. It was housecleaning day. Great! No, I would rather think it as family day.
After an early breakfast, we started the general cleaning. Ellen and Mike scrubbed the floor, applied floor wax on it, dusted all the furniture, and arranged the books on the shelves. Nina and Danny decorated the Living room and changed the curtains. Jean and Gail emptied the garbage pails and the garbage into the community garbage container. Father cleaned the canal and fixed the broken fence. Mother burned leaves and twigs. She also watered the plants. I washed the dirty clothes and Father cooked a savory supper for his tired and hungry family. Yes! Father does the cooking on Saturdays. I love Saturdays.
