Molly came over the other night. We had loads of fun, building a huge fort....eating french fries, reading funny books together and laughing at silly Grampa! Her buddies and babies are all put to sleep before she leaves, this time inside the fort....cause at Gramma's house the fort doesn't have to come down anytime soon. It is left up downstairs for the next time she comes over.
We packed up all her stuff she had brought with her and proceeded to get dressed up like it was -40. After we each had on enough winterwear to walk to Regina...we tried the front door. No go. The door knob was seized. Tight, no movement....nada...nothing. We attempted to take the door knob apart, even little Molly used her screwdriver inside the dead doorknob.....to no avail. Finally, after much sweating...we decided to head out the back door. Now, one must realize we just went through a huge blizzard and ....yep, we did not shovel the entire walk in the backyard, as yet...WHY?? Well, part of the reasoning was to keep Daisydog corralled in when she comes to visit....maybe part was laziness ....whatever the reason it was a TRUDGE to get to the fence. Brett jumped the six foot fence ....yeah, not bad for a old fella, huh!? I handed Molly over the fence to him and he proceeded to the vehicle to get Molly settled. Uh,....oh, ya...that left me to jump the fence and yes, I made it. (okay, I stepped on a big block of ice that was near...but hey I got over the fence without damage to any body parts!!) We took Molly home, singing the whole way....her response "this is so much fun, guys!". oh Molly, hanging with the Gramma and Grampa is always an adventure!! When we got home and back in the house we pulled and snapped and yes, swore a couple of times at the doorknob....finally...finally it let loose. We now have a lovely, VERY EXPENSIVE, new door knob on our front door....and lo and behold it works like a charm....ah....on to the next adventure.
