Miro and Emily learn to recycle

After experimenting with my cardboard box stand-up desk, I bought one that raises and lowers. It's a heavy, solid piece of equipment that sits on top of my existing desk. No assembly required! What's not to like?
Oops. Forgot about the window reflection revealing the junk-covered printer table. The Varidesk came in a Very Big Box, double sided with thick cardboard. I wondered how I'd ever get it all cut down to fit in the recycling bin. Suddenly, I had help.

 They began work on a rectangular piece from inside the box. You can see part of the box on the left in photo #1. Keeping everything on the small landing contained the wreckage--or so I thought.


 Emily paused to see why I was just standing there instead of helping.


They are researching for a term paper on deconstruction.

Then, for a moment, all was still.



Emily decided to resume work in the living room.

Now, please excuse me while I go fetch the garden rake. Good thing Thanksgiving Dinner is not at my house.

  3. OMD!!!! That is some IMPRESSIVE work you two!!! There is NOTHIN' I likes better than gettin' into the recyclin' bin, or the cardboard boxes!!! I do likes your style...I likes takin' my time sometimes too...little itty bitty bits of cardboard..then I make spitballs outta it and trade them for a treatie! (Ma thinks I have somethin' bad, and feels 'conned' when she says 'drop' and it's only a spitball and not like a battery or something dangerous!) Butts she HAS to give me a treatie for droppin' it..it's the rule! BOL Have you taught your Moms this trick? You gotta..it's loads of funs!! ☺
    Anyhu, I hopes you guys all have a FABulous Turkey Day, and I hopes you gets lots of turkey and stuffin'!
    Kisses,
    Ruby ♥

  4. I guess a garden rake WOULD be the easiest way to clean up that cardboard! ;)

    Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Sherry. We are very grateful for you, and for your continued friendship.
