I've been trying to get the roll top desk out of my house for a few months. I had posted it on our ward face book and told anyone who wanted it, to come get it. I had one taker and then she told me that her husband said they just didn't have room for it. I was done trying to give it away so I called on two great, younger than Neal and I by far and much stronger, men in our ward to come get it and haul it off to DI. They came last Saturday around 3:30, brought a little truck and the two of them hauled it downstairs, out the front door and into the truck like it weighed nothing. When I saw them drive out of the driveway it was a hand wave of relief and deep felt thanks. Neal and I gave them a gift card to eat out with their families. Both of them wanted to decline that gift because they said they wanted the blessings. I told them they would get lots of blessings and the gift card was just a little bonus blessing. So grateful for people who are willing to help. Actually kind of weird to be on 'old age needing help' side of my life. But, I am, and I shall gracefully accept the fact.
Joseph Hurst and Robert Curtis. Love these two!
Neal supervising and Joseph and Robert doing their courteously best to ignore his suggestions.It really was a very nice desk, with no scratches anywhere on it. I hope it finds a nice home.
I bought a new smaller desk and just need to wait for Annie to come and put it together. Then I can set up my office in the spare bedroom with a small desk and my lap top that doesn't take up the whole wall!
