Then there was the two foot lift from the ground into the window. It was actually three inches at a time. Simone would lift one side and I would put another 2 x 4 under the window. Finally it was even with the opening, and then, miraculously, resting in the opening.
I thought the miracle was those two guys lifting the window without dropping it or getting hurt. Carl thought the miracle was that it fit. Simone was just generally amazed.
And I am in awe. Window heaven, created in seven days. As my friend Carol says, how wonderful to begin a new year by letting a little light in. Metaphoric, she said. I do agree. How fitting to begin 2010 with more light in my life.
