Making it Happen

Well yesterday was a day.  Bit of a potpourri day really.  Had a bit of everything.
Merril is making up 9 bags.  Stuff is going in them from her dad to be given to those he wanted them to go to.  The work is intricate and involves getting material, cutting and sewing.  The sort of thing that requires undisturbed concentration. 
I know when I have a task that requires my full attention it is better no one talks to me.  It is not I am anti-social, but it is not the time or place to engage me in deep and meaningful conversation.  I love having them - just not at that time.
So Merril was doing that.  I have been getting stuff together for a baptism we are involved in.  It meant finding a pool (the previous one had a leak) and anything else needed.  That meant something to blow it up.  Something to get water into the pool.
I wanted to check all worked as it should.  It had not helped that we had bought a heater online cheaper than other places and I found out one of the reasons.  It came with three wires exposed which I was supposed to put an electric plug on.  Reminds me of seeing a cartoon that claimed to show a “book maker”, and it showed just a log and axe.  For sure when something is in its raw state and essential stuff is not done it is cheaper.
Anyway seeing that had been a rude shock.  Merril came and gave me a hand.  We had what was needed and had seen it worked.  I got all the stuff together and put it in the car.
We then drove to where it was going, and operation “baptismal font” started.  It all went well and has water added and is ready to go.  I realized in the evening that the pool was probably overfull, and people were going to be in it.  So this morning we are heading to the place early to take out some water.
Once it was set up, we went for lunch.  Then we came home.  Merril continued to make bags and I loitered.  I asked if there was anything I could do but thankfully for me there was nothing.  It was intricate work not for a novice. 
So it was a good day.  I admit I will be glad when my part is over, and it has worked.  It is one I will put up to experience knowing in the future I have been there and done that.  But that is the future.  This is now.
