Thanks to good friends

Last week, Bob and Lynn, stopped by for a visit. Lynn used the downstairs half bath before getting ready to leave. Then Ed went into the bathroom. We heard Ed turn the knob after he was done but did not hear the door open. The next thing we heard was a little more frantic knob twisting and pushing on the door. Then, some minor screaming as Ed is slightly claustrophobic!Bob immediately got to work using a screw driver to pry the bolt back - to no avail. The bolt had actually broken off and was not moving at all! The knob turned, but no movement of the bolt. Stuck tight. Mo door movement at all. The next thing Bob did was take the hinges off the door. Ed started applying increasingly more pressure - still no give. Finally, Ed was able to, with some pounding and slight damage to the door, get out. Bob then went home to get their convertible Mustang and came back with the top down. Over to the carpenter, the door went as it suffered some splintering. It has become part of our daily routine to check on the door at the carpenter and always "manana". Manana turned into well over a week. On this day of Thanksgiving, we give thanks for the good ventilation in the bathroom and to Bob and Lynn for getting Ed out the toilet and for taking manana with good humor.

LOL... what an image! Well, if Ed was going to be stuck somewhere, it would be appropriate for it to be the bathroom! Too funny!
