The Purple Chair...

Cindy and I woke up around 8:00 on Saturday and went for a jog along the river.  Then we ran some errands to the library, the Credit Union (followed by lunch at Godfathers, naturally), then to Best Buy.  They were having garage sales all over the Delano district and so we decided to stop at a few on a whim.  

Several hours and $150 later, we had a puzzle table:

some tile and a sink from Mexico (we forgot to get a picture of the sink before we put it in storage - but it is all hand painted by somebody's Margie).   We also got another interesting little table with some broken legs that we are hoping Mr. Brill can repair.

Originally Cindy had passed on the sink even though the Hispanic lady that was selling it REALLY wanted Cindy to buy it (they had an instant Latina bond).  We left it there, but we happened to come back by there on our way home and I talked her into stopping.  That lady was thrilled that Cindy came back to get it.  We will use it in the new house as a sink in the downstairs bathroom (someday).

We also purchased (after thinking about it for a while and going back):  THE PURPLE CHAIR!  It is really comfortable and eventually we'd like to put it in our room as a reading chair.  We bought it in honor of Elena as a tribute to her time at Kansas State.

Last evening we went to Cheddars to eat (too many crying, yelling kids - but the food was good), then we went to see Get Him to the Greek.  We both laughed way more than we should have (Cindy say's it is a raunchy and crude show), but we were entertained so, a good night.

We got up and went for a walk with Jefe this morning and found some great trails that we didn't know were there.  We came home and got ready for church.  We went to St. Patrick's (mass was a little long ~ 1 hour and 10 minutes).  

We are home now and just got done having lunch (Cindy made some eggs with fried potatoes and cheese - good thing we went on that walk before church).

Now we are putting off cleaning the house by watching Cast Away for the hundredth time (we still love the part where he makes FIRE!).

No fire making for me today (well maybe later, on the grill).  Now I have to go do the manly dishes...

Sigh...
