“Can you pick up two pieces of furniture at Holland heights” requested my wife. We were off to another good start as it was going to be another hot day.
I knew the area from when Kelli lived there, in fact there is nowhere in Holland that she hasn’t lived at. Between her and her brother, who has nearly worked everywhere, they’ve had the city covered.
I set off with my GPS bleeting in my ear, of course it set me around the houses, once I deviated from the prescribed route it went into “Redirection” mode. Luckily I remembered the house number and street, and found myself outside a children’s playground. There was a trampoline, a bouncy castle, and an assault course. I decided the best thing to do was reverse into the driveway, being careful to miss the arrangement of vehicles.
I have noticed that I have a restricted neck movement when I’m driving on the left hand side, it feels unnatural, so as I swung round, I over steered slightly ending up on the lawn, I quickly pulled forward and made a better job of it. There were two young girls sitting together they obviously saw my feeble attempt, but I greeted them with a happy sounding “Hello”
Both of them looked at me expressionless,
I said what I was there for just as the mother came out of the house.
She pointed to the two pieces of furniture just outside their garage. I worked out the best way to get them both in the truck. The first was a small desk, just the right size to fit across ways, the other piece was a dresser that was the heaviest I’ve encountered. If felt like it housed their rock collection and they had forgotten to empty it.
With our combined strength we managed to load it into the back and close the back door.
I headed home with no intension of unloading them today.
Another Lifetime to go
