Mary proposes a new rule: zoom meetings can not last longer than the laptop battery or her bladder.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Zoom! Mary was off and sitting at 7:15 PM with the “Professionals With Integrity” group.\u00a0 By 8:30 AM, Mary was done zooming, and we joined forces to hit the garage running.\u00a0 The garage was so full, we could not even get out the double side, but magic occurred.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We tried te easy way but had no takers!<\/p><\/div>\n

The picture below was when the garage was half-full before the 18-wheeler brought another load from Bluebonnet!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before, it was floor to ceiling and wall to wall! In all the boxes were 26 boxes of books.\u00a0 I found the bookshelves on Amazon, and they were pretty substantial.\u00a0 Four shelves later, we have a library.<\/p>\n

Amazon said, “IRONCK Bookshelf Double Wide 6-Tier 76″ H, Open Large Bookcase, Industrial Style Shelves, Wood and Metal Bookshelves for Home Office, Easy Assembly”\u00a0 Well, after four of them, I got pretty good at assembly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We bought and filled up four bookshelves, two in the office and two in the exercise room! (BYW, the books serve as a great background for the Zoom meeting)<\/p><\/div>\n

We worked all day and finally at 5:45 PM we stopped and went to the new Mexican Seafood place; the food was good, but the service was sloooooow.\u00a0 Robin was having a craving for Mexican food.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We returned to the crime scene, and with the help of Colleen and Robin, we moved the old wooden bookshelves to the side of the house and cleared a path for Precious and The Silver Fox to go indoors.<\/p>\n

I had to get on the ladder to change a lightbulb in the garage this afternoon.\u00a0 You could say it was the high light of my day.<\/p>\n

Perfect, Juan, our car wash guy, is coming Thursday to give the babies a bath;\u00a0 all three cars will look brand new!<\/p>\n

I was putting my car in the garage and asked my Mary to spot me and let me know when I hit the wall. I heard a bang. Then she said, “8:45 PM!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

“Precious” and “The Silver Fox” had their first conjugal visit! Their engines roaring all night long!<\/p><\/div>\n

The four of us admired the progress we had made and were very happy.\u00a0 We are so happy that Colleen took us up on our invite to stay another week; she has been a joy to have around.\u00a0 \u00a0Robin and Colleen make fantastic sisters.\u00a0 They had Mary and me in stitches all evening long, me laughing so hard I was crying alligator tears.<\/p>\n

They suggested we go to Temecula and taste the vino on Friday while Mary works.\u00a0 I gotta think about that; can my tunny stand four hours of howling laughter?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
