Smoldering Looks

Wow, did it pour rain last night!  We are so glad it wasn't cold enough for it to be snow or we would be shut-in most of the day until Linda could shovel us out.  She was worried how she was going to get us to go outside for our morning ritual since we hate getting wet.  It seemed the very minute Chimmie started whining to go out, the rain eased up.  By the time Linda got her slippers and robe on, the rain stopped!  She made me get up too just in case it started up again and I would have been stuck using an inside pad (which I'm proud to announce I don't need to ever use anymore!) 

Ignore the smoldering poster (and pink walls.)  Tierney used to work there and they were throwing it out. Linda is waiting for her to come and pick it up. 

I forgot to mention that we added a new piece to the new den.  It's a really soft, comfy chair that Linda bought almost 30 years ago.  While they were moving it, the price tag was still under the cushion.  It was $250 which at the time was probably a whole weeks pay!  The print is ugly (what was she thinking?) so she is going to buy a slipcover at Target this weekend.  It has been downstairs the entire time she's lived in this house.  Honestly, it's probably been sat on less than 30 times in it's whole life, so it's practically new.  Now with our new awesome TV, we can have 2 people over to watch a movie, or even a few more if they don't mind sitting on the floor.  The little Noah loveseat is in the old den.  She is fixing that up as his new playroom.  She is going to look for a nice toy box.  Right now, all his toys are in laundry baskets or cardboard boxes and it looks tacky.
