Mirror, Mirror, on the wall?

For that funny story connected to July 4th I promised you...

It was a wonderful surprise to have our friends Dan and Ayo call to tell us that they were in the Richmond area and would like to come by and see us for a couple hours on the 4th. We were thrilled to have them even for a short time.

They arrived while Trevan and I were putting the finishing touches on the bathroom for the guests that we would have a bit later.

One of these finishing touches was a huge mirror that was to go atop the vanity. Because it was just a flat mirror we decided to stick it with mounting tape. Unfortunately for us, the wall in the bathroom is terribly uneven, so we belatedly realized that the mirror was being supported by just a few pieces of tape, while most of the tape was not even hitting the wall...What brought about this realization?

Back up a few minutes...

Ayo: how do you like having your own house?
Shari: It is a lot of work, but very rewarding... blah, blah, blah

CRASH!!!!!

Shari: What was that?

We ran to the bathroom to find that the mirror had fallen and crashed to a million pieces. Frantically I got the broom and started sweeping up the shards of glass on the floor before our guest got there...doorbell rings...too late, they are already here!

Needless to say, we had a very crazy start to our first gathering at the house, but I am happy to announce that it all went well, no one got hurt in the incident, and Ayo got a very vivid answer to her question!
