James and the Giant Ladder
October 26th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
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?
