New Furniture

A week and two days ago, I had to come home briefly to grab my Book of Common Worship: Pastoral Edition, a suit, and some other odds and ends for the funeral service of Betty Jean Cooper (Anna's paternal grandmother). Josh Albers, a friend in Owensboro, happened to call during the brief time I was home - inquiring as to whether we would still be up for swapping some furniture. Thankfully (and wisely), I said yes, which ended up in this acquisition:


We gave them two end tables we had received from my step-mom as she frequently gets furniture from her work (moving and shipping company). After a long day of driving and the disorientation of trying to get so many things in order, it was good to feel and see community at work that day.

Then, today, Anna and I loaded up the boy just after his morning nap and went out to brave the 90 degree heat. Our efforts were not in vain; at a used furniture store, we stumbled upon this sun chair. Actually, Anna had seen it about a year ago (almost exactly a year ago). Waiting one year eventually won us an $8 bargain as the item was on sale (plus inflation!). Anyhow, for the time being, this chair and that table are filling a space next to our kitchen that has needed something for quite some time.
