This is funny!

Sally and I were planning on having her pottery studio building moved down to Florence tomorrow. (It is not a Leonard Building but it looks something like this We were going to take a lot of my books also (which might save about 1,000 lbs. in the move. Remember — I am a Seminary trained Presbyterian minister!)

Last night the guy who was supposed to move the builidng called and said he could not do it this weekend — there was something wrong with his truck. So — Sally and I decided to stay here this weekend and work on packing more stuff.

I sent the following e-mail to several of the folks in Florence who were going to help us unload our stuff:

>Subject: Change In Plans
>Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2006 17:03:37 -0700 (PDT)
>
>Hey everybody –
>
>I hate to do this, but we had to change our plans and
>will not be coming Friday. The man who will be moving
>our building has something wrong with his truck and
>can’t move it Friday — so we are going to stay up
>here and work on packing things here this weekend.
>
>We’ll come when the man can get his truck fixed –
>whenever that is!
>
>Sorry for the inconvenience — and we appreicate
>everybody being so willing to help us if we had come
>Friday.

Notice the subject line: Change In Plans.

I was intending to refer to our change in our plans for the weekend.

Unfortunately, one of the folks in Florence became upset when they saw that the e-mail was from me and read the subject line. They thought we had changed our minds about coming — period. I quickly let them know that the change was only for Friday — that we were excited about coming to Hopewell — and nothing would change that!
