Life is a carnival.

Hi ladies
My wife Mini is something else. She's Calamity Jane. On sunday I went down to Clinton CT to help my GG friend Chris , who is my friend Gary's widow do things around her house for the day.
I get back home at 6 pm and there's a message from The Warden left at 1 pm. "Call me! It's an emergency!" I call her house and there's no answer. I call my daughter Katie and said" What's going on." Katie says" Mom went up to the attic in her condo and her leg went through the sheetrock on the ceiling!" Sorry girls. I couldn't stop laughing! She only has swollen knee but that was priceless. I got a hold of her later and said" Hey Min! Could you come over and insulate my attic?" I can't repeat what she said to me. Life is good! Hugs girls.

Love
Auntie Jeannie

Oh the picture in my mind. This foot and leg dangling from the ceiling. A muffled voice saying some choice words. It is surprising what sheet rock can hold when done correctly.

Emergency??? More like lacking some brains. Next time tell her to dial 911, they will tell her where to go if it is not an emergency.

Have fun fixing the hole.

In another life, when I was renovating old houses and making real money, all I can say is "been there done that." It is still somewhat funny, even funnier when half the body is dangling through the ceiling and there are four or five contractors standing around -- NO! I would not know anything about that. I heard that the nextdoor neighbor actually came over to see what all the laughing was about.

Fixing those places in the ceiling is not easy -- as some of us know!

When you go over there, don't laugh, I know it is not easy, but try and hold back or there could be other holes in the ceiling.

Love,

Virginia

I've done it as well.

My wife was watching as I was insulating a house I was renting right after we moved to VA. She said, my eyes got real big and one second I was there, and the next second I was standing in the living room.
