Tale of a Chair

One of the changes we are making to our RV is taking out the couch, which is very uncomfortable, and replacing it with a recliner that fits me and some storage cupboards. Today was our day to go shopping for the Lazy Boy Wall Away chair that I wanted.

We found a Lazy Boy Gallery fairly close to Daughter Dawn's, only about five miles away. At the last minute, Granddaughter Kyra asked if we wanted company and hopped in the car with us. She had just returned last night from Illinois where she had been visiting with her sister Havela and her new niece Kahlyn, after attending the Mennonite World Conference in Pennsylvania. So we were very glad toget to spend time with her!

We made it to the store and since I knew exactly what I wanted, it didn't take long to decide on the perfect chair. It came in a brown fabric, a brown leather and a burgundy leather. I choose the burgundy to give Auntie Violet a pop of color. They thought they could deliver it to Junction City on Thursday which would be good timing for the boys in their remodeling project.

But, like usually happens, when the clerk placed the order, it turned out that they could not deliver it until next week. But, we could pick it up at their warehouse - fifty miles away in Tualatin. Kyra suggested we trade vehicles with her mother as there would be room to haul it in the back of their van.

We met Daughter Dawn for lunch and ended up trading vehicles. Ky ended up driving to the warehouse where their crew loaded the chair for us. Then she drove all the way back to Junction City where Bobbi and Scott unloaded it and put it in their shop.

Boy, did the RV look different then when we left her! The fellows had just finished taking out the last of the tile and the carpet. They had rebuilt the floor in the bathroom and were sweeping up all of the debris  when we arrived. They had the new flooring laid out on the shop floor and I think I'm really going to like the laminate.

It was almost five when we got back to Dawn's and she was already getting chicken thighs ready to barbecue. We put together an orzo salad and some peppers to go with and had another lovely meal. It was a another good day!
