Grace is the one grand theological word that has not spoiled. It's often called "the last best word" because every English usage I can find retains some of the glory of the original. The word underlies our proud civilization reminding us that good things come not from our own efforts but rather by the grace of God.
Listen to how we use the word:
Many people "say Grace" before meals, acknowledging daily bread as a gift from God.
We are grateful for someones kindness, gratified by good news, congratulated when successful, gracious in hosting friends.
When a person's service pleases us we leave a gratuity. A composer of music may add 'grace notes' to the score. Though not essential to the melody they are gratuitous and add a flourish whose presence would be missed.
In England British subject address royalty as "Your grace" and student at Oxford and Cambridge may "receive a grace" exempting them from certain academic requirements. Parliament declares an "act of Grace" to pardon a criminal.
I love that word, that glorious beautiful word Grace, do you all agree? Scooter, I know you do. You love that word, don't you? Grace I mean.
Grace, it's a lovely word that reminds us how much God loves us and let's us know that He cares. Don't you agree john henry vincent?

The laundry shoot idea is a no go, it's too difficult to cut into the floor of this house without making the whole thing look like shit and probably decrease the overall structural strength of the building.
What I devised is a fairly simple system to give the staircase a second hand rail for Mary. I used 4 collapsible L-brackets and a 13 foot cedar hand rail. I am installing the thing now, here are a couple pictures and I will update later today or tomorrow when finished. Wong, I will need your help actually in designing a pulley system of some kind to facilitate the laundry basket making it up and down the stairs. I am envisioning some kind of rail system that fits on to the L brackets when extended, but I will leave the majorly difficult engineering stuff to you. This is your kind of thing, if you can come up with something feasible reliable and that looks ok Mike and I will implement it with precision.
My working model of the staircase laundry basket system is basically a piece of PVC running the length of the brackets on the underside which rope will feed through, from there attach a piece of pvc underneath the laundry basket which the rope will pass through and I am stuck right about there. The laundry basket weighs, at times, up to 20lbs loaded with sodas laundry books and whatever other crap Mary decides needs to go up or down the stairs. The alternative isn't pretty- she showers the stairs with the contents of the basket. Literally just throws onto the stairs all the aforementioned items if Mike and I aren't around to help so a laundry basket system is a must.
How awesome is the word Grace though?
