No More Sitting on My Imagination

 At last after 10 months I have a sofa in my living room . I've been making do with a recliner and the dining room chairs.  I ordered a custom sofa but every now and then the salesman would call and apologetically tell me it was delayed. Last week my brain turned back on and I called him and asked if I could cancel the order and put the money on something they had in stock that could be delivered soon. "Sure he said." So I went in with my son Dave and his wifie Heather.  We browsed and sat, actually Heather and I sat, her legs are about the same length as mine and I no longer need to buy a sofa to fit my very tall sons. Scott the salesman said it would be in my house in 8-10 days. It's a nicer sofa than the one I ordered and was a little more expensive but it came with those matching pillows. It was delivered four days later. He also took 5% off the price because he said I was kind to him when he had to call with bad delivery news. It seems most people yelled at him, as though he had control over anything that is going on with deliveries these days.  Not a fun part of his job. 

This is the third sofa I have purchased from this store and they were all good. The first one was too big for my condo when I sold my house, but still in good shape. So I gave it away. The second was a black leather couch that wasn't my favorite though my grandkids liked it. So when one of them decided to get married and bought a house I told her/them if they liked it they could have it. They did and it went away that day. This should be the last one. It's a gray fabric that looks better in the living room. Doesn't overwhelm it. And it's just my size so I don't have to jump down off of it. Hooray!
