April 13, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. A Work Day.

Wendy will sleep well tonight or perhaps her muscles will be too sore to relax, but today was a day of physical work for Wonderful Wendy.  Right after breakfast at Primos with the three of us  and Christina,  Wendy attacked the vines that have grown up our big trees.  She heard Ken and I discuss the question of who was supposed to be removing the vines, the yard maintenance man or the man who will trim the trees.  The vines were removed from the house and the garage but nothing was done to the trees so Wendy took it on herself to put them off and cut them down.  She finished around 2:00 and was weary.  It was a big job.

Home Depot delivered our furniture at 3:00 but instead of arriving with already assembled chairs and table, the truck brought us cardboard boxes.  I was not pleased but was not going to allow them to be returned,  so Wendy volunteered to assemble the 6 chairs and table.  It was not an easy task.  I stayed out of the way.   Wendy assembled the chairs in the garage and carried them to the deck.  The delivery man had taken the table to the deck so Wendy put it together out back.  Tomorrow we will carry the cushions from the garage and place the table and chairs on the deck.   The assembly has been completed, thanks to Wendy.

Yesterday, when the delivery man arrived,  he needed help to take the furniture to the lower deck so Wendy helped.   Fortunately, Wendy has been keeping fit and strong so she has been up to these tasks. But I suspect she was not intending to spend the whole day doing physically demanding work.  I only wish we had a hot tub so she could soak her aching muscles.  Ken and I are grateful for her help.  We could never have done those tasks ourselves.
