"Warehouse"

Sunday

Remember that clubhouse that I built for the Riddles' kids the first week I was here?  We finally delivered it today!  Originally it had windows, a ladder, a seat, and a covered interior.  However, the longer it sat in the yard, the more additions it picked up.  Now it has walls around the top, a flagpole, a fenced in porch, a seat on the porch, and peepholes.  The neighbor painted it jungle green, and there are plans to add a basketball hoop, and a flag to the flagpole.  That seems to be the way everything goes around here.  Nancy has a lot of ideas, and dreams big, so consequently she is always in the middle of a lot of half-finished projects, some which will be accomplished, and some of which will be perpetually on the back burner.  What gets done is based on what seems most important at the time.  Since it was finally important enough to take the clubhouse over, we loaded it into the back of the van, and Jason and I delivered and installed it while the kids were out.

After we finished we played a little one v. one b-ball, (PIG and Fifty), and though it was competitive, Jason beat me handily.  When the kids returned, Joseph, the oldest, clocking in at five years of age, declared the structure to be their warehouse.  The kids have been over to the Fair Foods Warehouse a few times, so what else would Jason and I bring over, but a miniature warehouse for them?  They had soon declared that there were "No Grown-Ups Allowed."  I was still allowed in, despite my grown-up status, seeing as I am a "Grown-Up Kid."
