When Dave gets an idea...

Watch out. I'm not kidding you, there have been numerous times where Dave will get an idea and then he's figuring out how to make it happen right now. For example, during the summer Dave decided we should sell our car (granted we had talked about it, but we were not positively set on it). I came home from teaching one day he'd posted the car had had a couple of offers and we sold it in 2 days--leaving us with one car for about a month or more. Now for a more recent experience.

We have had our wonderful couch set for over a year, but realized a couple of months ago that we would have to switch things around when we inherited my grandparents piano (we needed a wall for the piano and a wall for the new entertainment system my dad and dave are going to make). We had talked about moving the love seat upstairs into the study and buying two chairs to add more seating downstairs. Well New Year's Eve comes around and Dave saw an advertisement for a sectional. He got really excited about having a sectional couch. So we went to look at some (I was mostly humoring him!) Next thing I know we were seriously considering it. My biggest concern was the fact that we already had a living room set and wasn't quite sure what we would do with what we have. We put on hold what we were looking at, put an add on KSL for the couches and the next morning we had 3 callers, ended up selling our couches to a woman who definitely was in need, they came and picked the living room set up at 6pm on New Years Day and we had the other set delivered to us at 7:30pm that night. Ridiculous! We ended up making $75. Not bad. And I actually love the sectional. Always and adventure with Dave!!!

  1. Nice new couch!! We've been looking for new couch/es for what seems like an eternity. I wish we could find one as quickly as you did. Where did you get yours from?

  2. Loverly. And is that new art work I see behind the table? At least when Dave gets an idea it works out well! So tell him to keep having them.
