One of them had me hold her yarn and Tell me yarns, lol. The other would allow me to 'load' her needles and give me pointers on P's and Q's. I loved helping them. Guess I didn't know that I was learning all the while But, I fetched and assisted...that is what I do now, part-time, I help elderly ladies.
I am so blessed, Ruth
I'm sure you are a blessing to them too! My first real job where I got paid was sitting with an elderly lady as her companion.
My first job not paid was pumping gas in my dad's service station. LOL but that was not for money! I think I was about 13 when I first learned to read a dipstick! LOL
