I am in love

Yesterday we bought a new kitchen set at a neighborhood garage sale. The old rectangle set with bench is now in the garage. Just like that, it's history. And history is a good word for it. We bought it when we bought this house 17 years ago. So many meals shared around it. So many memories. It's where Grandma Lew disobeyed my direct order NOT to give Baxter some rice krispie treat. Both Grandma and Baxter end up with sticky white frosting on their face. It's also where Grandma and Grandpa L. stood eggs on end during an equinox. It's where all the food was placed for help-yourself barbecues. And birthdays. And holidays. Weddings. Graduations. Of course it's also been Baxter's perch. That all ended yesterday because I fell in love with the dining set for sale at a garage sale. It's were I am sitting now. Paul was sitting here a minute ago with his computer too. Oh. He's back. Nope he's gone again.

Anyway, good bye to our trusty old table set, hello to the new table set and the memories to come!!
