~~DING DONG - THE SOFA IS GONE~~

We finally retired the old sofa!! We decided it was about 22 years old. So it was about time. We went to St. George and found this one at Ashley Furniture, I had been on the Internet searching so I was glad they had it in the showroom. Of course, it didn't look quite this big at the store. Then of course, the chair pads did not match. Monday I redid those.

It only took me ALL DAY!! I ripped open the back cushion so I could reuse the stuffing and the spongey stuff went all over!! What fun that was! Any who, I think it turned out okay? And now it matches the sofa. It's muted reds and olive greens. Alittle different than my usual blues, but it matches my roosters, so that is good. (I should redo Katie's cushions, don't you think Katie??)

~~New News~~

Tara asked if we had any new news??? I'll think of something......We were privileged to have a visitor on the 7th, 8th, and 9th. Tori and Clark trusted us to tend Ezra and we had so much fun!!

Talula was his best friend and she was very patient with him. Ezra would lay on his belly and put his little nose right up to Talula's dish and watch her eat her "cereal". And Ezra likes bugs, or maybe he doesn't, he told Grandpa, "Bug!" and then he stomped on it!! Grandpa laughed and laughed! Ezra followed Grandpa around the yard when Talula gave him the slip. Ezra also loves the trucks and cars, he carried them around and I have found them all over the house and yard. We enjoyed having him, he is really growing into a cute little "boy". He's not a baby anymore.

HAPPY 58th BIRTHDAY !!!! DARWIN

It's your BIRTHDAY ! You just turned 58 !! What are you going to do now???

~~MAMMA MIA~~

We went to "Mamma Mia" last night. Darwin didn't know what he was getting into. I told him it was a 'chic flick', he said he was fine with that. We had some women come sit behind us and one was laughing out loud---we couldn't help but laugh with her. One of them brought a three year old with her, he was having a good time too. He'd scream when Meryl Streep did and then he'd laugh!! The show was good, in fact it was great and I can't wait to get it on CD. Of course, the music is from our 'teen years'. I loved ABBA. We had an 8-track tape and when the kids were younger, I remember playing it in the van and we'd all sing along. You probably don't remember that. Now we need to get the sound-track! (I don't know how to download to my play track thing??) Any who- it was good and even though some of the actors could not really sing. And yes, Darwin did like it. He said at least it wasn't one of those depressing chic flicks!!
