A whole lot of Hoopla: Our New Sectional

Ever notice that all things happen at the exact same time? Our house magically turned into a zoo on Saturday. We were having some of Ron’s family over for our first real “dinner party” and our sectional was supposed to be delivered the same day. Friday I get a call from Bob’s furniture telling me that our magnificent new sectional was supposed to be arriving at 4:30 while Ron’s family would be arriving around 4. Great! Ron and I spent a good portion of our Saturday moving all our living room furniture onto one side of the room. Normally, we would just move it to the basement, but our guests needed some place comfortable to sit! So our house looked ridiculous with ALL of our furniture shoved onto one side and a huge empty space on the other. But what can you do?

4 o’clock rolls around and the sectional has arrived early AND before our guests. Wohoo! Ron and I breathed a sigh of relief. The men get it unloaded and started to set it up (amongst all of the furniture we left upstairs) when we see Ron’s family arrive. Ha! You could see them sitting in the car with eyes wide pointing to the huge moving van sitting in our driveway. Ron goes out to greet them all and brings them all inside. So we had all of our old furniture on one side, the new sectional shoved on the other side, 3 movers, 5 family members ,charlie, Ron and I ! It felt like one of those old Marx Brother’s movies…
