My chair redo

One day at work I was kidding the girls and said "I hope a shabby chair will come in

for me to paint and put in my garden. I want it to be shabby enough that I only have to pay

2 or 3 dollars and sturdy enough so it won't fall apart when I put it outside."

Well, the day went on and no chair.

I'd say "Lin, did my chair come yet?"

"Nope, we ordered it but it won't be in today"

Well, about closing time someone drove in the parking lot and

set off a really dirty, smelly, nasty recliner.

(They didn't ask if we'd take it because they knew we don't accept such trash)

Then everyone started telling me "Hey, Donna, Your chair is here!"

LOL!!

No, way I'm taking that thing...

the more I protested the more they kept saying It was my duty to take it

because I was the one that asked for it and it was the answer to my prayer!

Well, I did not take that dirty old recliner.

But just a few weeks later this chair came in and I bought it for $3.00

I brought it home and painted it and put it in my corner.

It looks pretty good now, doesn't it?

Just see how much the flowers in the painted pots have grown.

I liked the stenciling on the chair so much
that I did some of the flower pots, too.

Oh, and look at my washtub.

I guess you know I have had the day off today and I am enjoying it so much!!

Tomorrow is another day off and Don and I are going to the movie to see

Letters to Juliet

And we are going to eat at Red Lobster.

Our dinner will be compliments of a Mothers Day gift card

from my wonderful son, Mike.

Hope you are enjoying your day and that your tomorrow will be as fun as mine!
