Christmas in March







Well, at least it seems like that for the adult Guthries! A furniture store here in SoCal is going out of business, so furniture prices are as much as 75 percent off. We decided to head over and look for a couch set, since our couch is uncomfortable and we wanted a couch that converted into a bed so we had more space for guests. Not only did we get a couch for the money we budgeted, but we got a matching loveseat with independent rocking EZ chairs (Rodney is modeling it), a new hutch and buffet, a new breakfast nook/poker table that is bar-height with six chairs (one for each available poker spot) and a dining room table (in pieces and stored in our garage - we will have to find chairs later) that just happened to match the hutch we had already picked out. The new purhcases inspired Rodney to go out and buy a new flat screen plasma HD TV. Despite all the new furniture, the living room seems so much more spacious now that the HUGE tube TV is out. It is currently in the garage but, as soon as Rodney has access to a pick up truck, it will take up residence at his friend, Pete's house.
