Procrastination

We've lived in this house for 28 years;

for 28 years we've needed a railing on the steps:

For Uncle Grant,

for Aunt Mar, Aunt Olive,

for us.

"Now I can carry things to the car," Ed brags

as we pack to leave for vacation.

 It was the visiting teachers who motivated us

to finally install the railing

as I watched them help each other

up and down the precarious steps.

Annette is 80

(we're almost twins)

and Jean is 77 with knee injuries and macular degeneration.

Hurray for DeRay!
