How I made friends with my whippersnipper and my laundry line broke up with me

The two stories are not connected, though it would be understandable if they were.

The day started with me hanging my laundry. I had about half out and -pop- they were all on the grass. The line had snapped. It was old and it had a few weak spots but it had been so faithful, up until today. (I hung my laundry on my metal standing hanger instead. Then it rained:(

James went to Vacation Bible School in the morning. He seemed to have a good time and they weren't even doing sports, so I was happy about that. His class had 12 kids, which was an excellent turnout!

In the afternoon we did some lessons, then he went to Tara's. He came home, had dinner and then went next door to play 'dunk t@nk'(replace the @ with an 'a' to get the correct word- for some reason a lot of people search the net for this phrase) which ended up with him coming home sopping wet. While he was playing I decided to take on my nemesis the whippersnipper. I used it last year but was so sore afterwards that I swore not to do it again. I relegated it to a Myron-only task. But the grass was getting a bit out of control, so I decided to have another go and maybe only do a little bit. I had struggled with doing a bit when a guy stopped and asked if I wanted him to fix it. "Is there something wrong with it?" I asked, clueless. Yes. The handle is all wrong. So he fixed it. Then he apologized for bothering me! Canadians. But it works wonderfully for me now! I do like doing outside jobs better than inside jobs.

I came in and made muffins for James. Henri stopped by as I was putting them in the oven. She brought a cheesecake for Myron for helping her with her computer. "Chocolate Fudge Cookie" was the flavor and it was heavenly.

James and I watched the new High School Musical reality show. I told him there wouldn't be any games and he was ok with that. I was surprised!
