Addendum to Last Post re Moving Sale

My last visitor put aside $70 worth of items and is supposed to pick them up tomorrow!!!  I hope he shows up.  If not, I had a great time talking to him and his wife.


Notice the red ball on the stand (the lowest one in the front)...






When I decided to call it a day and was bringing stuff into the garage, somehow or other, I knocked over the stand with the red ball.  OMG...my driveway is steep and ends on a BUSY street and there's a ball rolling down it with no obstructions in its way!!!  I went after it and the first time I touched it I couldn't grab onto it.  I had horrible images of it reaching the street and hitting or rolling under a car and all kinds of frightening things happening.  I managed to grab onto it before  that happened and I'm so relieved.  There was some damage to the ball so I have a small repair job to do.  I can't begin to imagine what it would look like after colliding with a vehicle.  

Then I went inside and found my poor dog stuck on the wood floors in the living room and not able to get his footing to get up.  I have no idea how long he was stuck like that.  I almost cried when I saw him.  He doesn't have a mean bone in his body and forgave me as soon as I helped him up and let him outside so he could go potty.  That's why I have throw rugs throughout the house since I've taken up most of the carpet.  He doesn't usually go into the living room so I don't know what happened.  But all is well now.  

What a way to end a pretty boring day.

  1. If that ball had rolled down the drive way there would be no way for me to catch it. I would probably be turning in an insurance claim for damages to someones car or cars. :( Glad you are in such good shape. I hope that guy comes back with the money for that stuff.
    Poor dog, glad he is OK.

  2. Sounds like you had an interesting day. Sort of a Keystone Kops thing chasing the ball down the street.

  3. Poor old guy! He was such a good boy for not having an accident. He may have gone into the living room because he heard people outside and he wanted to know what was going on.
