The Escape

Chapter 7 - Madelyn Adélie - November 13-14 1923

It was now late at night and mother had me show the guest to the spare room. I showed him to his room and then headed to my closet of a room and lay down to sleep for the night.

I dream of the young man. He says "Darling, I love you." I startled awake and looked at the time. It was 5 am time for me to make breakfast, headed downstairs and began making cinnamon rolls from scratch by the dozen, Apple Yogurt Cinnamon Pancakes by the baker's dozen, Raspberry Almond Turnovers by the basket, and Belgian Waffles by the tower.

At 7 am, all the food is ready to go and the first couple of family members are awake; the babies. I change them into day clothes and fresh diapers, then I feed them some baby food and they are ready for the day.

After everyone has eaten, I clean up breakfast and do the dishes. I then finished cleaning upstairs and downstairs. I start the laundry as I do every Saturday morning.

For lunch, I make Shiitake-Beef Ramen by the gallon, Tuna salad by the 16 oz, and a few other things. After lunch, I clean up the dishes and finish the laundry.

For dinner, I make Cheeseburger sliders by the tray full, and french fries. I then finish washing the dishes after dinner is complete.

I head to bed simply exhausted as usual.
