Well, it's late at night and I couldn't manage to come up with a 3rd "p" word to describe the new furniture. So much for being clever!
I went with a friend to the orchard to pick peaches, wanting to bottle some, but the peaches were not that great, so I only picked a few and made jam. But the farmer had a bumper crop of basil and convinced my friend and I that we needed some! I came home and made pesto, and it was SO yummy! Jack was eating it by the spoonful! I ended up with almost 4 cups of pesto in my freezer.
We're so excited, we finally, after 11 1/2 years of marriage, bought some real furniture, using the remnants of our relocation budget from Jake's work. We bought a fun dining table and chairs.
We loved the top of the table, the stone makes it a little unique.
We also bought a leather couch. We're really happy with our purchases, but they make all our other stuff look cheap! Oh well, we plan on replacing the rest a little at a time.
