As you can see by the picture above, this would be the perfect place for a beautiful 55inch by 44inch mirror. And it just so happened that Grandma Sheepwash bought us one for our house warming gift. So on Thursday night we decided to have the Grandma's and dad over for supper and we would hang the mirror so that grandma could see it up in our new house.
We had a lovely dinner created by my lovely wife and had a lovely time. After some coffee and desert we moved to the living room and Dad and myself started to put the mirror up. By precariously standing on the half wall and leaning out over the stairs, I held one end of the mirror and dad the other. As you could imagine Candy and Grandmas were very nervous about my precarious position, but I proceeded none the less.
After much worry we got the wire that was to hold the 50 lbs mirror onto the hooks. I slowly released my hand and Grandmas and Candy gave directions on which way to move to straighten it. Just as all was perfect and we admired its beauty, the mirror disappeared from sight. One bounce, then two, and then a crash proceeded by a loud smash.
You could probably just see us all sitting and standing there with our jaws in our laps. It had to be the worst feeling I have had in a very long time. There our most perfect beautiful mirror, given to us by Grandma Sheepwash, with her in the house, was at the bottom of the stairs in pieces. Uggh!!!!!!
Here are some picture of the carnage from our lovely evening with our Grandmas.

Oooohhhh...that is so aweful! I'm so sad for you guys...will you be able to fix it? Glad you liked your....uh...plant? I put Dad in charge so I'm not sure what I got you...is it a plant for outside or inside? Send me a picture! Anyways so happy for you guys and can't wait to see it in person in just a few short weeks!
Oh NO!!! That is the worst! I am relieved it was the mirror though...that can be easily fixed. YOU!! Patrick, on the other hand...are irreplacable. Glad it was not you and Dad that fell to the bottom of the stairs.
I can't believe you still can't spell my last name!
