January 14, 2011 It's Not What You Know...

it's who your son knows.

Like many things in our house, shortcuts were taken when these roll out shelves were put in the kitchen.

When we moved in, one was broken completely and the other one waited for a year or so before breaking and causing me all kinds of grief.

While Luke was off for Winter Break, I asked him to see if he could fix the shelves because I love a good roll out shelf. Don't you? One of my great joys is not having to bend over very far to get my rolling pin...or the toaster.

Luke checked out the situation, devised a plan, went to The Home Depot. Then he called his friend, Ryan, who is a carpenter!

Ryan came over and "helped" Luke fix the shelves. They roll out. They roll in. They could hold 100 pounds if they needed to. Which they don't.

I spent the evening rolling the shelves in and rolling the shelves out. CB made some comment about me being easily entertained.

All it cost me was a batch of chocolate chip cookies which Luke delivered warm to Ryan and his family.

Apparently Ryan wanted to know if there were other jobs which needed to be done, say, on a weekly basis?
