What do you do when. . .


. . . you really wanted a dining room table with enough room to seat 12 but could only find one with room for 10? Well, you wait until a local church is remodeling and replacing all of their pews. Then you buy one of the old ones from them for $10 or so. Then you bring it home and it sits in your garage for, oh, about 2 months at least. This is important. It must sit that long or things will go amiss. Eventually one day your husband decides he wants to be able to park actual cars in the garage and that the pew needs to be dealt with. So you start the measuring, sawing, sanding. You remove the kneelers and missal holders (unless your dining room looks much different than mine). In the end, you have extra seating in your dining room. Course, we haven't reached that end point yet. There was a slight mishap and one of the legs is in need of repair. But I am thinking positive thoughts and believe that at least half the pew will be out of the garage by night fall.

we use that seat for playing narnia we'd sit on and when the train would come by we got up and went out the back door
