Maybe it's time

........for a new computer chair. The seat has been holding on by one set of five original screws. The kids thought it was probably time for a new chair weeks ago but I really didn't want to spend the money on a new chair. So we all just balanced very carefully and tried not to make any sudden moves. Sudden moves lead to finding yourself on the floor and the seat dangling next to you, (Trust me I know)

But it finally gave up it's battle and the screws succumbed to the pressure, on Friday night. Zane brought me both pieces and said, "MOM, now it's time, don't you think?"

And it knew exactly when to finally let go because Mom and I went to some Garage Sales on Saturday morning. Oh what joy when I spotted this chair in someone's driveway. I quickly examined it and said I"ll take it, because the price tag was a whopping THREE DOLLARS. After I paid I wanted to tell the man, "Buddy, I"d have given you at least $15 for it." But who am I to nose into his pricing strategies. It was a little dusty, and I"m sure he was just glad to get it out of his garage or attic. And I was OH so proud to help him.
