Maurice Creek

J left for a visit with his parents at the lake.

I couldn't shut our front door! It was never that great for an old door, but this was my breaking point. The hardware store near by had one in stock! I called three times and even had them text me a photo to ensure I was not going to be driving 45 minutes for nothing. Ironically the first stock person who tried to find it commented, "I don't think we have these." 😡 I channeled my inner Zen and waited patiently. Five minutes later another employee showed him where they were. They had changed the stock codes, no wonder he couldn't locate it.

The quick project turned into a few day adventure. Including another trip to the store as it wasn't prepainted like I had thought.

It was a great surprise for J. Just in time too as wildfire smoke returned to our town and we had to batton down the hatches to keep the smell out!Read more
