Our Empty Living Room

It’s gone. The first set of furniture we bought for our house, clear back in 1993–couch, loveseat, recliner–gone. Well, not the recliner. It’s still in the bedroom in good shape. But the couch and loveseat had lost their padding, making them very uncomfortable for Sunday afternoon naps. So after 15 years, we donated them to the Mustard Seed Furniture Bank. Two guys came about 7 pm tonight and hauled them away in a truck.

Now we’ve got a very bare living room. This afternoon, Stanley Steamer came to clean the carpets. Then, next Tuesday, our new couches–two full-size couches, no loveseat this time–will be delivered.

Jordi and Molly don’t know what to make of it. They don’t like walking on the damp carpet, and there’s no place to lay. But I suspect they’ll adapt and survive. Until at least Tuesday.
