Fixer-Upper: Elvis, Alcatraz, and a Remodel

Girls rock.
Boys collect rocks.
Elvis sang and strummed his way into the Rock n’ Roll hall of fame.
A mom sings “Rock-a-bye, Baby.”
Little Rock, Arkansas
Druggies get arrested for possession of a rock.
Alcatraz was known as The Rock and so was a wrestler.
A girl’s best friend is a rock: a chunky, blinding, obscene diamond.

Men who design, construct, nail and wire bring paper plans into reality; they speak of rock.
Translated, their rock means “sheet rock.”
Sheet rock is messy and has zero in common with a girl's best friend.
1/2 bath appears huge
Sheetrock dust finds its way under construction paper and onto the laptop keyboard.
Overlook the mess because sheet rock means progress.
 Bathtub under windows
It’s the construction process.
It’s a signal that the plan is becoming reality.

And, this reality will be a gem.
