Kelli has a long list of places to go, timed to ensure a perfect use of our day.
This was a surprise to me, as she has a very casual attitude to efficiency, and things tend to lurch from crisis to chaos, so I must have some influence after all.
First stop was to pick up some mugs. I had no idea we needed mugs, okay I did criticise some mugs we had, because they didn’t have handles, so you needed a welders mit to hold them.
Anyway she found some mugs with handles.
Next stop was to deliver two dressers, including the custom one to an address in Zeeland.
This was a large chunk of our sales for the week, so was very appreciated.
Next stop was to pick up a dresser and hutch that was free out in darkest Hudsonville. The house was a bit creepy, with a basement even creepier. This was not the finest example, but the drawers were good, and not a lot of repair needed.
On the way, I said to Kelli that I would like to find Max DuPree’s house in Zeeland that had been designed by Charles and Ray Eames, but I didn’t know where it was.
Whilst sitting drinking my latte in Starbucks, whilst Kelli was off on another mission, I searched for it online.
When I found it, I was shocked to see that it was next door to the house we dropped off the two dressers at.
What was even stranger, we had passed it, and Kelli commented that it looked cool. I said that it looked like it was boarded up.
Herman Miller bought the property in 2010 with a plan to refurbish it back to how it looked back in the early 1950s.
On the way back to Holland we had to pick up another dresser. We just managed to fit it in the back with the tailgate tied with bungees.
Once we unloaded those we were back on the road to pick up more things, this time a pair of matching bookshelves. Now we really had a garage full.
Another Lifetime to go
