Aubrey's Shelves

For a long time now since construction began on her bedroom, Aubrey has been keeping a most-treasured photo of the bookshelves that she wants for her blue bedroom wall.

We showed the photo to the contractor, who advised against it--the braces would have to be embedded into the concrete wall to give the illusion that the shelves were floating in space.

We hunted all over for those shelves but found nothing.

The space in Aubrey's wall is still waiting for her much-vaunted bookshelves.

I am waiting for Aubrey to sail in some day and announce, "Grandpa! I found the bookshelves that I want!"
