ahh! Another week!

There is always yardwork, housework and work-work. I hope this week is smooth and peaceful, but I should know better than to think this is going to happen. Maybe it would be too boring. I mean, I've had a peaceful weekend in the workshop, and look what's happened just me, myself and I! I even had a mini adventure I didn't write about. I saved it for these times when my mind is taking a vacation!

So, whenever Wes takes the bike, he grabs a garage door opener from one of the vehicles (usually the Beetle) and normally there is a house door key on the key ring that he leaves behind. I decided to run the errand to Lowe's and that was a useless trip. I got home and reached for the door-opener. No door-opener. Then I look on the key ring. There is no house key on his key ring. This is when a person who doesn't normally curse and cuss does a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde thing. I realize I locked everything up except for the sliding door-the one that opens up to the enclosed deck, whose railing is about 10 feet high. Mr. Muscle has been working around the outside and left the ladder leaning up against a wall. How safe is this if someone was trying to break in? We have just made it easier for a criminal! Lucky for me, the ladder is there because in former times of missing a key I have had to find a way to get my less than limber body (especially the rear end part) up and over the deck railing. This time, I just opened up the ladder and climbed it to get to the rail and then leapt to the deck floor. Now, when I was younger I was pretty agile, at this point in time, there is no grace! Now here it is again--I think I need to make another copy of the key and store it someplace secret outside.
