For laundry, I use banana boxes. A full banana box is a full laundry load. The boxes are easy to carry, because they have holes for handles on the ends.
Recently I filled a box with freshly laundered towels, yet to be folded. I placed the box on the dining table, as I attended to something for my son. Suddenly my son said, "Mom! Dad!"
I turned to look at my dementia addle-brained husband. He had grasped some of the towels in his hands and was bringing them towards his face. I thought he was going to wipe his face. Quickly I stepped back to the table, took the towels from his hands, and whisked them away.
"No, dear. These aren't napkins. I'll get you a napkin."
He looked at me with an odd expression and said, "Why are you taking my cake?"
Years prior, layed cakes with cooked White Mountain Frosting were his favorite. Part of his brain still held those memories. But, the part of his brain that makes sense of his senses and surroundings often misinterprets the input of information... amazing what is produced.
Poor guy. No cake.
