The window cleaner is here!

Well I think I have made it through another month without too much grief. Although, I am sure my loved ones around me might beg to differ. Hubby in particular.

Now with that being said the sun is shining and window cleaner is here cleaning the grime off of those windows. As you can see there are a lot of windows at my place. The dormers are pretty high and I would far rather it be him climbing up there on the ladder than me.

Now that reminds me of a story.

Douglas was busy working on my car and had just taken it out for a test drive, when I decide I will get up on the ladder and clean the inside windows in the livingroom. WOW was it high. I don't like heights, but neither does Douglas. I figured someone had to clean them, and as much as I wished for the magic window cleaning geanie to appear she/he never did.

So there I was cleaning the top of the top of the window...stretching to reach that last spot, when you guessed it, the ladder slipped. OMG!!!!

I was able to find my balance on the window ledge and screaming at the top of my lungs hoping that someone would hear me....but who? Not where I live. Then there was Bert. Mighty Bert. Go for help Bert. Go for help! No, there he sat so majestic on the hill, just looking at me. wondering why I was balancing myself so precariously on that window sill.

I somehow managed to maneuver myself off of the ledge. The ladder had lodged itself up against our huge granite table....thank god for stone. It was almost parallel with the floor by that time. Trembling I got down.

I immediately I went to the couch to lay down. Douglas finally arrives home it seemed like he was gone for an eterniy. He takes one look at me and realizes that something was amiss. I tell him my story. That is that last time I have been up that ladder.

So here I am sitting at my computer typing and he the window cleaner is doing his thing. He has become my new friend.

Hope you all are having a grand day!!!
