There I was, walking with Beau down the street,
we came to a curb, there were two tables at our feet.
One end table and One coffee table
solid wood in perfect condition, not unstable.
We finished our walk and returned home,
we raced inside, and I said to Bob, Come.
I need your help, to put a table in the car,
come on, it's not that far.
I pointed at the end table, and lifting it in, he said the coffee table will not fit.
we will have to take this home and come back for it,
I said I don't want that table, just the end table will do.
We were home with the table before I could say Boo.
Sadly, the roadside treasure did not fit the space that I planned for it.
too wide and too tall, it just did not fit.
I thought about sitting it in our driveway.
to wait for someone else to take it away.
I stood in the door to my computer room,
thinking I could use it as a side table, I could do it soon.
Three hours later, the job was done.
A simple task, to switch the computer to the other wall,
but while unplugging, plugging, dusting , I decided to organize it all.
Donate this, toss that, and soon the stuff covered the bed.
Do I need this? Should I just shred?
I thought I was done, but then shook my head.
The table looked deserted, next to a big gap.
I did a face slap!
Aha i thought, I will move the chair
which left an empty space in the living room, I yanked on my hair.
It took all morning, but the room is clean,and there is no reason to despair.
I stood in thought, staring at the empty spot
the place by the TV, the space where the chair was not!
I spent the whole morning working because I saw a table at the curb.
I decided this should not my mind disturb.
I don't really care for it, but it was FREE!
and my last thought was that it provided a post for ME!
And the room is clean.
PS..Bob still doesn't understand why I did not put it in the place I wanted it because it was too tall, too wide and did not FIT the space.
To Him It Fits Wherever it Sits!
PSS.... the bed is a trundle and doesn't sink in the middle. Panorama did it.
the Rocker came from the curb in 2002 but I paid 75 dollars for it.
Investment I thought.
See last below.
