After we picked up the table, we spent the day roaming the corridor from Sheboygan to Green Bay. We had a blissful hour in the TJ MAXX housewares aisle, where we almost bought pink silicon muffin tins, le crueset ramakins, and a set of lime green DKNY sheets. But, we didn't. No, we were modest splurgers and we came home at the end of the day with a bathroom mirror, a new Ryobi sander, and kitchen scissors. We are such practical girls!
Friends just dropped by to see the new table. we opened a bottle of wine & christened the new piece of furniture. I think it qualifies as our second piece of real, grownup furniture. it even has a built-in leaf that glides effortlessly into place to create a big, beautiful beast that seats ten.

nice table!
yes, super-nice grown-up furniture...
amy, i got your message and will call you as soon as ig and i get back to seattle. we are on lopez island on a small retreat. i look forward to talkin' and am impressed that you still want to talk with me now that you are a grown-up professor :-).
so what's the other piece of real grown up furniture?
We've been teaching erica about what grownups do, like use sharp knives, and drink coffee and beer. Shall we tell her that grownups buy furniture too?
Alisa, I have this image of you and Sam drinking beer and coffee while wielding knives and saying to Erica "this is what GROWNUPS do, Erica!"
The other piece of grownup furniture is the couch, of course. Although, a debatable third piece is the almost-new bed we bought from a colleague.
