The S's
We are not from here. On some unknown day, the trumpet will sound, announcing His Triumphant Returning! And what a day that will be! Then it will be time for us to go to our Real Home. Thank You, Jesus Christ for the sacrifice.

On sheet folding
Pete Seeger or perhaps the 5 Man Electrical Band could write a song on this episode.
Okay...so like he was on the sofa, watching golf for about an hour.
Next to him was a freshly washed and dried set of flannel sheets I had tossed there earlier. Yes, I should have folded them, but I am not writing this to complain about me.
Upon my request to have him fold the items, my ears were assaulted with verbal protestations. He begrudgingly and non-violently picked up the pillow cases and "folded" those and his body language screamed that-was-the-end-of-that. I told him "It is not all a washcloth and pillow case world."
He then folded the flat sheet and "could not" fold the fitted one. I took pity and completed this obviously abhorrent chore. Funny, I never realized (in 36 years of laundering sheets at least once a week)under what horrible conditions I was being forced to toil.
All this while I had naively continued this task, not knowing how oppressed I was!
In any case...this is how I found the sheet.
When I said "Oh, yeah. This is blog-worthy." He laughed and headed to the gym. About 5 minutes later the phone rang. He said "What do you mean 'blog worthy'?" Then it was my turn to laugh.
I carefully unfolded them one time, so as to give the full impact of his feckless attempt.
