Nightly Routine

Today, Tuesday, September 15, was an uneventful

day for our photographic blog. We drove over 400

miles through the plains of Iowa and Illinois and saw

more corn, soybeans and alfalfa than can be imagined.

Since we had taken many pictures of these on other

trips, we thought we would do something different.

For many trips I have watched Bill with his nightly

routine of making his bed comfortable for him.

Here is a synopsis of that routine.

First he looks at the bed that housekeeping

so carefully made.

Then he removes the foot sham, folds it neatly

and throws in on a chair.

He untucks the sheets, blankets and comforter

from the bottom of the bed.


Bill then folds the comforter in half on the
opposite side of the bed.




He assesses the configuration of the pillows.
The configuration depends on the number of pillows.

Being there were four pillows, he arranged them

two by two. After lying down, he will

determine the exact angle of the pillows

The next step is to fold the sheet over the divided comforter.

Finally Bill crawls into bed and pulls the sheet over his torso,
leaving his feet exposed.

With his bed being a comfortable nest,

he can fall asleep.

Good night, Bill...I'll see you in the morning.
