Window Coverings

I have a neighbor who is incredible.

Her yard looks like it fell out of a magazine, her dog is obedient and sweet, she's kind.

She did something very funny before we moved in, that I won't tell you about, but I think a lot of people do it, only we caught her :).

One day she said to me, "mrs, I could make you some pretty drapes for your bathroom."

I didn't listen.

Then something whispered to me, "Maybe you should listen."

So I did.

She came and measured and we talked about fabric.

I was supposed to go look for fabric, but as I am a recluse and only leave the house when I have to, I didn't do it. (I'm not really a recluse, I'm just lazy.)

One day she called me from Dallas and said, "Can you go look at your email?  I just found the perfect fabric for you and it's only $not much.00, a yard." 

I hurried to my email, looked and said, "Oh, yes. That's nice."

Really, I said that because I know she has great taste and I trust her.

And it was in my budget.

And I wouldn't have to go shopping.

So, a few weeks later she told me it was time to go get a rod.

I asked her what kind of rod.  She answered.

I went shopping.

And then she & her wonderful husband did us the kindest service.

They came an hung the rod and curtains--well, really her husband did most of it. 

She and he did the calculating and hanging. 

I did some holding and a lot of visiting.

(Where was my mr.? I don't know, I don't remember.)

And then they went home.

To their house.

Which is across the street from my window.

My bathroom window.

                                                                                                                                                                  

This happened months after this incident. (This link should work now-sorry it was messed up earlier.)

Oh, the hypocrisy.
