Eldad

This morning I got a text from my sister telling me about a story she heard on the radio about "Edie", a dog that was saved from being euthanized only an hour before.  That was my introduction to Eldad Hagar.  I watched the story of "Edie", and how a fearful, tormented dog came to hands of a gentle soul who saved her life.  Eldad is a California resident who travels from city to city picking up stray dogs and animals at shelters to help save their lives.  Please check out this video of one of the dogs saved... 

This is just one of the videos shot by Eldad

Painting

My bedroom has needed a new coat of paint ever since I moved into my home.  The first year I bought the house I decided what color my new bedroom would be.  The second year in my home I painted one wall. The third year I decided I did not like the color of the one wall.  Here it is, my fourth year in my home, and  I have finally picked a color I like and painted all four walls in my room........it's lovely....with one exception...  I can't reach the top of the wall that joins the ceiling.   I now have four beautiful walls in a deep shade of glacier blue that  are completely unfinished at the top.
Sure I pulled out my little three step folding ladder and was able to reach a little bit closer, but not even close to the top.  I need a TALL ladder to be able to paint the tops of my walls.  I drive a Honda Accord.  Honda....TALL ladder.......Honda.......TALL ladder.......
Werner MT-22 300-Pound Duty Rating Telescoping Multi-Ladder, 22-FootHow do I get a 21 foot TALL ladder into my Honda?? I have come to the realization that you cannot do home improvements when you drive a sedan...it's discrimintation against the small car.  That's what it is, I tell ya...
