DECISIONS

Will the day decide to be sunny?

We are three couples who have got together frequently over the years.  Now that we are all retired it should be easy to plan a day, a time, a place.  You think?  Well it took several days just e-mailing back and forth and then dad suggested our home for the Friday.  I said that is fine but you will need to help me clean up the house.

The problem was that dad decided to phone the drain guys today.  They suggested he take the floor off the shade deck to get at the sump pump.  No was pretty confident he could get at least a few boards up.  The first problem was finding his drill.  He has been keeping some tools in our closet so they would be safe but the drill was no where to be found.

He used an older one.  The trouble is we do not realize that we are getting older and our knees are painful so knelling is difficult.  After several hours working on this we found the company back and suggest they come Friday morning.  The girl at the receptionist was a great help.  Just let the young guys come and they will do the job easily.  Dad hesitated but I yelled Yes! Yes!

Just like I need help cleaning up dad needs help now too.

We called off the group coming and we may join them on Sat. if someone else can have it.  There are only eight of us.

It will depend on how dad is feeling before we make any decisions.
