Well,well, well! Look it's Mom's old Sears Catalog oak table that Dad purchased at an auction in the 70's and which she refinished using Homer Formby's refinishing products. She put new seat covers on the chairs and had Clair Harden carve a new crossbar foot piece. The table and chairs have served well as nearly to ceiling vertical filing space for various empty boxes, food stuff and other items. The rebuild of the store room has allowed for most of those goods to be stored in there. Hazzah! Played lots of Pinochle and Scrabble games at that table.
I had commented to my neighbor across the street that with all the neighborly sprucing up we should probably have a block party. It went from there, if you are in the neighborhood, drop in noon to five tomorrow, there will be burgers, bring a side.
I am making three kinds of potato salad; crab, halibut and plain.
We had an HIM student from Bend here this week for directed practice. Her whole family came with, rented a beach house in Coos Bay, she came to work every day and her family took the boat and brought back large amounts of fresh crab and a halibut. She brought in a dozen or so cooked crab, we cried thank you! and I brought home two and I picked out the meat. The halibut was cooked also and I will break up the steaks into one of the other salads. Should be good weather. I will take pictures of the "Grapes of Wrath" house. The owner has had a crew putting on a new roof.
Will report later tomorrow.
