It Takes Two
There are many things a person can do alone but there are lots of things that go better with two people. I had a job today that I had to ask my back door neighbor to give me a hand with. I got the tarp off the 1974 Checker that's sitting in the driveway, the car I need to sell now. It was hard for me to get that tarp off. It was roped down pretty thoroughly. I was congratulating myself that I got the tarp off at all. I suspected that I wouldn't be able to do it but with patience and perseverance, I got it off.
But what I really couldn't do was fold that tarp up neatly. I got it folded in half lengthwise, but that was as far as I could go. My arms just weren't long enough to fold it up as I would a bed sheet. That's when I realized it would be a good idea to ask Carolyn for a hand. Together it wasn't a hard job at all.
Now the tarp is folded neatly and in the garage. The big old car sits in the driveway with a for sale sign in big letters. And I'm feeling very grateful for neighbors who are willing to lend a helping hand.
