Simmy woke with ideas, ideas, ideas, racing through her head like a movie. As these gears wouldn't stop, she decided to get up and put on the coffee.
Construction son in stitches had already gone to work and 'duct- taping his work-boots on' construction son was just stirring.
As the coffee brewed Simmy noticed that a neighbor had put up snowflake lights on their garage.
It was so inviting that it made her realize why she had decorated her house all these years.
Other than the pure joy of making a house a home for her family... there was that other aspect of giving joy to the neighborhood. This morning she was enjoying the gift from a neighbor.
"It is really warm out there," said duct- taping his boots on construction son, coming in the back door. His work-boots were flapping about his feet. "It's like it didn't cool off last night. The temperature feels like it is the middle of the day."
Simmy watched him sit down on the stairs and the 'creeak screech' of duct tape being pulled grated on the air.
"I'll bet you didn't think you'd be taping up your boots this long," Simmy laughed.
"I bought new winter boots but they're just too warm to wear in this weather so I'm making do with these until it snows," he remarked.
From a 'making do' to a 'stop doing' list... the irony wasn't lost on Simmy.
She wanted to shout, 'Stop duct-taping those boots on and buy some new ones!...' but she knew it would be pointless.
