A Mystery

I wonder what people do all day who don’t have Eddy.
Especially older retired people.
Verla and I have talked about our great aunts in our childhood days.
Aunt Amy, Aunt Jane, Aunt Vine, Aunt El -
the Carroll Sisters scattered from one end of town to the other.
What did they do all day in their twilight years?
No transportation – not one of them could drive or had access to a car.
No public transportation in our little town.
No telephones.
No television. 
Maybe radio transmission at night, if they had a radio.
No computers, iPads, iPods.
No library.
Nor did they have Eddy to care for.
What did they do?
