Changes

This is the way I shop anymore. Look at an ad and find something I like. Call the toll-free number to order, give them my credit card number, pay the extra for shipping and "Voila!", there is my new sectional. I like. Himself likes, Johanna likes and Audri loves it! She lays her head on the cushions and pats it!

It is microfiber and soft.

We sold the old blue set. I was prepared to advertise it on "Union County Free Cycle" and give it away but Himself was sure we could get a hundred bucks for the set. When I
advertised it, I didn't have the nerve
to say $50/pc and after all I was using the Creston paper's free ad for selling items $50 or less. So I asked $50 for the sofa and $35 for the love seat. It was a soap opera and some little gal tried twice to come on our lunch hour to look. When I put others off because she was supposed to come look, Himself got absolutely furious with me! "Sell the d_ _ _ thing!" he spat out! In reponse, I said "isn't there honor among garage sale folks?"

Well it caused some tense moments but finally about 11:30 a.m. Saturday morning, a little gal showed up with her friend, her brother, a pickup AND the eighty-five dollars. Himself helped carry it cheerfully to the truck.

Now, then, just a few more changes for Himself to get used to. Need a few red or forrest green pillows and some changes on the walls.

Johanna will help me get rid of some "country" and add some contemporay and we'll be all updated!

Good for you! You've waited long and long and long for that. It's beautiful. I envy for chaise lounge! I can't wait to see what else you do.
