Here it is -- "The Monster!" Tom worked for two full days this week to unpack and dispose of packaging materials, and then assemble this beast. It looks so charming and friendly, sitting there with its infrared heater and cheerful fireplace thingy. Who would ever guess that this Monster nearly killed us both?
It really is nice to have, and we are enjoying it, but oh my ... what an ordeal! I guess the truth is we need to keep in mind that we've arrived at "a certain age," and need to be more realistic about what we can and cannot do. At least, we got this done before we reached totally decrepit old age :-)
It's gorgeous sue !!! But what a monster it turned out to be !!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it on the long winter evenings :)
"we need to be more realistic about what we can and cannot do."
ReplyDeleteAnd it's heart-wrenching each time!
I tried to read the text on the cushion but nothing doing!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to be humble when you're from Syracuse?
DeleteLOL! Good eye Leucrocotta! Yes. The little pillow says, "It's hard to be humble when you are from Syracuse." Tom was born in Syracuse, and while He has lived in Ohio for many years, He remains a citizen of upstate New York in His heart. I have no idea where He got that pillow, but it lives there in the rocker now. I hardly notice it, but when I do, it makes me giggle. Thanks for pointing it out :-)
