Our giant couch left yesterday and today our new vintage looking Pearson couch will come in, as soon as I go pick it up. The upstairs is pretty clean and even sounds hollow without the big couch. The new (used) to us couch, is a shade of green with high arms and a deep seat. It’s really comfortable. When I say vintage, the material and pattern looks like it’s sort of retro. It came from a home in Aspen and we picked it up at the consignment store in Gypsum. It actually cost a few hundred less than the one we’re selling.
Throw in a chair and desk (also used) for my office, (which used to be Jag’s room) and we’re getting a new feeling around here. We also pulled our old chairs out of storage and now all sit around a table for our meals which is really fun. In fact, with no couch here right now, I’m sitting at a table writing on my computer and this is the first time in over a year I’ve been able to do that.
I have a meeting in Denver at 9am so time to get moving. I was hoping to stop and see my Mom but she’ll be at the hairdresser until noon. Ty has a basketball game after school today, not sure if it’s at our school or somewhere else. Jagger was one of two 9th grade students chosen for the Hawaii Intraterm trip coming up in February. Intraterm is where all Upper School students take a week and go somewhere to help and learn about another culture. Other choices were Costa Rica, Mexico, the backwoods of Louisiana and others. It is going to cost us (what doesn’t) but is a right of passage for Upper School kids and a good learning experience. We’ll begin accepting donations tomorrow as we just found out they charge our credit card 50% of the fee on November 7th, super! (just kidding here, we’ll manage somehow but you might get a card for Christmas!)
Time to run so I can get ready to head out. Have a great day and pray for our Country. Oh yea, our medical insurance policy for all our employees has gone up so much, we’re now forced to make the employees pay more on their own. Since Obama Care, we’ve always absorbed the increase but just can’t do it anymore, nice. God Bless.
