New furniture

A good friend, Mary H., died recently from a short bout with cancer.  She and Ted had been married 60 years.  Ted decided to sell their house and a lot of their furniture and plans to get a motor home and be a 'snow bird' for awhile.  So we upgraded our furniture by buying some at Ted's estate sale.  Terry was home for a few days and spent a couple days moving furniture in and taking our old stuff to St. Vincent de Paul's.  I have spent the last week rearranging things and cleaning the house.  Everything looks so new and gives me a sunny attitude of thankfulness to head into the winter months.

New hutch

New chairs for the counter that are more stable.

New table and chairs-our old table bowed in the middle like a sway-back horse.
This one is flat !!

Kidsittin'

Had a fun weekend KidSitting Lance and Liam and Shella May.  (Mom & Dad went to an OSU vs WSU game).  We took a walk to Liam and Shella May's school and played 4-Square (a game I loved when I was in elementary school).  The squares seemed so much smaller than I remembered them to be when I was in school but after a few times of not being able to get the ball hit quick enough I decided the squares were too big!!   My sister and her granddaughter Sydney joined us and we both walked back 'home' with some sore muscles.
After lunch, I helped the kids with their homework which is something I have not gotten to do very often.  Then we played games and had a fun evening.  I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend but it turned out to be way to short.
