3rd December 2023
We were supposed to drive to Hudsonville to collect a couple of free dressers, but the person got confused and gave them to someone else.
Kelli was not impressed, but she managed to find one close by, but it cost ten bucks.
However, she also managed to sell the four chairs on our weekend sale, meaning we didn’t make as much on them that we should have.
I did more scraping on the table top, and set about trying to repair a drawer from the “side of the road” dresser. Unfortunately the front was twisted, and I’ve run into those issues before.
The drawer never sits correctly in the dresser, so now I have three drawers to make.
We had to Kelli’s mum to move her autumn stuff upstairs and bring down her Christmas stuff.
This included the tree that I set up in front of the window, plugging it in only to discover that only have the lights were working. I expect I will be back to check then one by one to find the faulty one.
Kelli found another dresser for eight buck at a town called Dorr.
We collected the dresser from a mobile home park out in the wilderness, we had intended to drive on the collect the other piece, but the chairs were being collected at a specific time so we had to return home to get them ready.
A lady had driven for an hour to buy these, and she did like them, fortunately. I helped to load them into her truck and off she went.
Now we had to remove the dresser from our vehicle and set off, to collect our next furniture piece, you could say we were going door to Dorr.
It took us forty minutes to get there, longer than we thought, but the piece had potential, so the trip was worthwhile.
Driving down I could see most houses had Christmas decorations up and shining bright.
Most people start straight after thanksgiving, everywhere it looks wonderful, if nothing else it brightens up the gloomy places at least once a year.
Another Lifetime to go
