Walks on.

This afternoon we bought a ladder.

• We need to work on our second floor balcony.
• To get it ready for winter.
• The step ladder wasn’t tall enough.

We went to our favorite Ace Hardware.

• Got fabulous help.
• A demo on how to use the ladder.
• Plus a deal to boot!

As we checked out, it suddenly struck us.

• How were we going to get the 20-foot ladder home?
• I popped the back seats in the car down.
• With the right angle…

James announced he would carry it home.

• We live less than a mile away.
• The ladder was 23 pounds.
• I argued to at least try getting it in the car.

James held firm.

• This was his ladder.
• We didn’t live that far away.
• He was walking it home.

And he did - with a big grin on his face.

Makes me think of chapter leaders…What do you do when new members want to try oddball ways for getting work done?
