The Roof! The Roof! The Roof is on Fire!
The finish line is almost upon me, but I'm just... not.... there...
Yet.
I've got to do two extra rows of "half shingles" (where I slice the shingles lengthwise so they'll fit snugly along the top of the roof) and then I can put the top row on. I did get some help today from my son, who nailed the shingles in place while I held the nail. That was kind of nerve wracking, but he didn't hit my finger. (I was the one who did that to myself. Urg.)
Anyway, our youngest had a birthday, and we were over at my folks tonight. She'd gotten Uno as a present, and lmlawson , my mom, my oldest, and my youngest were playing. My youngest had gotten down to one card, and she proudly shouted "Uno!"
She was so excited to get a chance to win that when her turn came and she was forced to draw a card, she was bummed. But lo and behold, she drew a card she could play.
So she did.
And I waited a moment.
When nothing was forthcoming, I leaned over her shoulder. "What do you say?" I prompted.
"Thank you?" she said, puzzled.
