Thursday's Child
In this case Thursday's child was a vintage child's chrome dinette set. There it was sitting in the middle of a yard sale driveway and only five dollars. I oohed and awed, thought about cleaning the chrome, wondered where I would put it and left it.....Yes I did....I left it. Hours later I had that nagging nagging. I thought of four different places where the set could live in my house. I jumped in the car, went ten miles over the speed limit, wondering if it would still be there. I spotted the table ON THE CURB and so were the chairs. I ran up the driveway looking for people. "Are you throwing it away? May I have it? Yes! Yes they said and came to help me load it into the car, the man saying, "My children used this table. It used to belong to their mother." How? How? Can you let it go? I have one chair cleaned and polished so far, it took three hours and still needs a little more work. This will be a perfect table to play games, The Game of Happiness, work puzzles and have tea parties. We are so happy to give this dinette set a new home, a forever family.
