Forced Labor

The shed moving was a little more than different. First Shawn, Kate Lynn and I started to move this huge 8 foot by 16 foot thing. When we spotted a couple guys that promised to help,it was clear they were begging off. Then our neighbor, Gloria came over. Gloria is a busy body and puts herself in the middle of everything. She wanted to know what we were doing, we told her and she left. Then we hear her yelling and clapping. Then we see she has rounded up a large group of young men and is dragging then down the street and into our yard! These men understood quickly they were not getting out of shed moving! They and Shawn made quick work with the shed and the girls and I set out a nice picnic lunch. Once the guys saw the feast they were quite glad to have helped, they ate and even stuck around to do some raking. Gloria was treated to lunch as well as a bunch of to go plates! It was quite funny! We actually had a very enjoyable afternoon with these young men, I think despite being forced into some physical labor, these guys enjoyed themselves as well! The shed looks so much better in it's new home and it provides some very much needed privacy in the back yard! We were able to enjoy some time relaxing after a busy afternoon, the girls and I played cards and Shawn watched a movie. In just a bit he is going over to Gloria's to install some locks for her. Some cool news, I picked my first ripe tomato today, I was quite thrilled.
