Thursday was very quiet, I watched football for part of the day. Two of the games were lopsided so I spent part of the afternoon reading a good book.
Friday had more activity. The dining table I've been using at the new house fitted nicely in the old house, but was a bit small for the new one. (OK, it occurs to me I need to start calling it the current house, since I purchased it over a year ago.) Plus, the chairs I'd been using at the old house were in fairly crappy condition so I got rid of them when I moved. In the meantime, I've been using folding chairs with the old table.
On a related note, a friend of mine has been downsizing. She mentioned she was getting rid of her old dining table and getting a smaller one. Having spent lots of time with my quilt group around the old table, I knew it was in good condition and even without any leaves added was bigger than my old one. So, I asked her how much she wanted for her old table. She quoted me a price, et, voila, I had it moved to my current house yesterday. It's looking good. (It's pictured with 4 of the 6 REAL chairs.)
The runner was made by another quilt buddy several years ago. It's got an Xmas theme so fits in well with the season.
This morning I was awakened by the sound of people celebrating the weekend with balloon rides. From the noise, it sounded as though they touched down in the park to swap out passengers. Here are a couple of them.
Later I went to the Rio Grande Arts & Crafts Festival. I saw lots of lovely things, but restrained myself from going heavily into debt by buying them all. I did get a couple of Xmas gifts so it was a productive trip.
I'm not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow, but I plan on doing it in a leisurely fashion.
Feeling thankful,
Papillon
