Auntie B's Wax

It was a big day at the Auntie B’s Wax World Headquarters. Finally, at long last, The Guys came over to put in our new driveway.

The Guys made our house the exciting spot of the day.  The neighbors had to drive by slowly because of all the equipment and big trucks parked in front of our house.  At first I thought they might be cursing the vehicular clutter, but then figured they were green with envy, wishing they were the ones getting a new driveway.

Husby was having tons of fun watching The Guys do their job. He sat and watched, awestruck by the cool trucks and bobcats and said, “at times like this I’m just a three-year-old boy.”

I liked the board shoes. It was quite refreshing to see with all of that equipment one of The Guys slipped on the board shoes and manually stamped down on the asphalt. Oh sure, there was a big, loud mechanical stamper, as well as a heavy roller, but apparently stamping by foot while wearing board shoes is an important part of the process.

It was all quite exciting.  When The Guys finished the project they waved goodbye, climbed into their big trucks and drove off down the road.  For the rest of the day Husby and I found ourselves looking out the windows admiring our new driveway.  It doesn’t take much to make us smile.
