Renovations, before pictures

NERVOUS AS A CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF!

I woke at 4:30 this morning, either too excited to sleep or too nervous. By 6:00 we were both awake so we got up to begin a very busy day. Well, maybe not as busy for us as for the men who will be tearing up the old carpet, vinyl, etc. but a restless time for us to say the least.

I thought of several things we needed to do to make life easier for both us and the installers, one of which was to empty a drawer on the BIG HEAVY DESK. It was filled with files. As we began to remove the file folders we found a bag which had a card in it. Each of us appeared puzzled as we opened it to reveal the contents. We both had such a hearty laugh when we discovered it was a birthday card for "Wife" which had never been signed. Apparently Wayford had purchased it, who knows how many years ago, stuck it in the drawer to keep me from seeing it and forgot where he had put it. He either went and bought another one or explained that he had not had an opportunity to buy one. We stood and laughed, reading the either belated birthday wish or perhaps a very early one. Nothing like a surprise and a good laugh to start off a very busy day.
