Fred and Ellen

I had fixed Fred and Ellen’s computer for them last year.  We weren’t here in Florida for very long before Ellen showed up at Barb’s knitting night and Fred popped his head in to ask if I could come over and help him with their computer again this year.

Their router had broken and they had to get a new one but they didn’t know how to set up the router with their computer and their wireless printer.  I went over to their house and tried to set it up for them.  They had written down the password but they written all the letters as capitals but the password was in all small letters and it was case sensitive.  It took me a while to figure that out but then I was able to set up their router and their wireless printer.

The next day Fred came over with a jar of pickled beets and a jar of pickled green beans.  They were very good.

I was on my walk a couple of days later and Fred was picking up Ellen from the pool.  I told Ellen that I really enjoyed the pickled beets and beans.  Fred was offended because he was the one who did the pickling in the family.  I guess I made a sexist assumption.
