The Odd Things That Bring Me Joy

This past Saturday I bought myself a ladder and I was absolutely giddy about it.  As I carried it out of Home Depot I don't think my feet even touched the pavement I was so excited and overjoyed.

Over six years ago we downsized our home and possessions to the point of moving into an RV so we could do some traveling and move south to warmer weather.  As most of you know, if you've followed my blog for awhile, that idea didn't pan out and we ended up in our RV in Boise for a little more than a year before moving back into our house.  Our ladder was sold in a yard sale as were many other things and I've been trying to make do without one.

Black cats walking under ladders?  Hmmmmm....

I have two friends that have been wonderful to lend me a ladder whenever I needed one and I really appreciated it so much.  Between that and our two step stepladder I've managed to make it work for the past five years.  However, I really wanted to replace my ladder and have one of my own again.

No matter where I live a ladder will be essential so I was able to justify the purchase and I pulled the trigger and bought one.  For someone who is afraid of heights you would think a ladder wouldn't be such a big deal.  But for some reason it really is and I'm over the moon to have my own ladder again.  Crazy, the odd things that bring me joy, but this ladder makes me very happy.
