One Mile Walk

Gifts

         After my trek, there was an Amazon box on my porch. I had seen the truck go by, and the driver waved to me, but I didn't know he had gone down my block.
         Oh, gosh, I hope the wife didn't see the delivery. Darn Alexa didn't say to be expecting anything before I left.
         Well, it was my set of gifts to wife... and a little bitty thing for myself. Put it in the side door of the garage before I went in the house. At which time, Alexa was saying, "Your package has been delivered!" Damn.
         Wife, "What package?"
         "Oh, probably the free audio book I asked for this morning." And a bit later, "I have to put oil in the car," and went downstairs to the garage.
         I remember Mom was not impressed when Dad gave her a frying pan for Christmas. 'Not a real present for me,' was her reaction.
         No, I didn't get wife a frying pan. And, since I'm the one usually in the kitchen for supper, it wouldn't be inappropriate anyway.
         Since Alexa can turn on/off the TV, I got her a Google Chromecast thing to change the shows.
         Tonight I'll have to figure out how it works... after she goes to bed.
