I had been advised to remove all the pictures from my walls and all the valuables from my shelves in preparation for today's roofing extravaganza. Of course, this meant a lot of models had to find a temporary new home. After some consideration, I decided they would be safest lying on my bed.
My kids usually have little to no interest in my models, but James was intrigued by the sight of them spread out like this. Suddenly he had an overwhelming urge to pick up and inspect every single horse. 
He especially liked the ones with writing on their bellies.
This one, my beloved old FAM named Zucchini, doesn't have writing but she does have clothes.
James was impressed when I told him that I have owned Zucchini for more than thirty years!

Okaaay... Dad used to do roofing (and many other things) for a living. Not once do I recall anyone being told to move things off the walls, even Grandma who had Waterford crystal in the built in china cabinet! I think I was around James' age when I got to crawl around on that roof :D
ReplyDeleteI was surprised about that too. I don't remember having to remove things from the wall but it doesn't hurt to do it. Hope the job gets done well and rapidly.
ReplyDeleteIn retrospect, I think all but the tippiest horses would have been ok. We had a few things topple over, but not too many considering. They almost finished up yesterday, but we are expecting someone to come back today for cleanup and truck removal!
