The G&G B&B

I'm staying the week with my Mom and Dad.  Ginger and George.  It's a little like going back in time.  Or being stuck in time.  Everything is the same here. 
My mom and dad get up at 6 and read scriptures together.  They both have breakfast and take turns getting ready for work.  My mom teaches 6th grade.  My dad works from home.  But he still gets all dressed up. Mom leaves for school and the house is quiet.  At 10:30 Dad comes up for a break.  Grabs a piece of fruit (or a handful of M&Ms) and a glass of water.  He asks how everyone is doing and then heads back down into the pit.  The house is quiet again.  At 1:00 he comes up for lunch.  He has a bowl of soup and crackers.  Every day.  He watched FOX news really really loud. (So loud it woke me up from my nap.)  Then at 2:00 he goes back down.  Mom comes home right before 3.  We have an afternoon snack and she tells me about her students.  Who is good and who is bad and who is funny. Dinner is at 6:00.  Dad goes to bed in between 8:30 and 9:00 and Mom stays up late.  Working on her computer.  Which is downloading songs in iTunes and uploading pictures to Ofoto.  Around 11:30 she turns in too.
It's been the exact same since I lived here 10 years ago.  The walls have been painted and repainted a few times.  The furniture has changed.   There's a hot tub out back now.  But they are the same people on the same schedule.
That's comforting to me.
And even more so when I see how happy they are in their routine.
