BAM - The SOS Call to Sylvie

It's that time of year...TG&TG are both incredibly busy at work plus the holiday season is here! In years past, The Gardener would have all the Christmas shopping done for the "out of towners" wrapped and packed and ready to be shipped the day after Thanksgiving. Plus, all the Christmas cards would also be mailed the day after Thanksgiving. Oh how times have changed....it just does not work that way anymore and it's not because there are kids in the house.

The Gardener has been on super-stress overload for the last two weeks and last Tuesday she placed the SOS call to Sylvie. Three days later Sylvie left Coach, The Kyleman and Mistletoe and hit the road driving the 8 hours alone from Texas. She pulled into the driveway in the pitch dark at 8:30pm after writing a hit song (Rebounder - that's all I'm saying) along the way. TG did the dance of joy in the garage - literally.

Sylvie contributed in every way she could from (just to name a few) moving furniture to cleaning closets, from some Christmas shopping to sitting at TG's office and making tabs for file folders, and (of all things) decoupage. Best of all, she coached TG back from the edge of insanity. There's no therapy like Sylvie therapy. And yes, we also managed some retail therapy.

Four days later, just this morning, Sylvie took off back home - mission accomplished. THANK YOU SYLVIE! The Gardener is stable once again and The Golfer is very thankful.
