If only I had a brain....

Saturday, I was trying to get a start on my winterizing

the yard.. putting things away.. throwing away what is old and faded and broke…

I worked on it from 9am…to 3pm.  As the day went on, it got warmer and the sweat started to built up.. Rolling thru my eyes

under my glasses. By 3… I am dragging… but wanted to get just one more thing done.  I had a small flag, that had Welcome to Fall on it..  my welcome to summer had faded and got tore.

I was upset because the factory mal-functioned and the hole wasn’t big enough for the rod to go thru.. in fact I couldn’t even find the hole to put it thru.. So went in the house, got the scissors to cut the ends, where I could see the sewed slot, so the hole would show. I went back out side, got another holder which had a smaller rod.  Still can’t get it thru.. and the King drives up… he sees my frustrated look…and ask what was wrong. I told him, how the factory had screwed up and how I cut the corners to get it thru.. and still couldn’t get it in..   He looked at me and quietly said…. “you do know it is upside down, right?”

I looked down…and almost cried… and said.. “If only I had a brain.” ……………………
