The Table

I have been wanting a new BIGGER kitchen table. Everything that I liked was more that we wanted to spend. One weekend when we were in Leamington visiting Dev's mom, we were driving past the dump, and noticed a table with 4 chairs and a leaf sitting next to it. (NOTE: In small town Leamington, you have to haul your trash to the dump on your own....no garbage truck service) We went up and looked at it. Dev got out to check it out. WOW he said, this is a solid wood table, and it looks pretty nice. My response, I don't want a table that someone left at the dump...we drive off. Later in the day, I say to Dev, maybe we should go look at the table again. Maybe I could sand it down and refinish it. We drive to the dump, load the table in the truck, and haul it to Dev's moms garage. We went down the next weekend, I started to sand. I sanded all day, I thought that my arms were going to fall off! Anyway, after much hard work, I have a new FREE table that came from the dump, and I am dang proud of it. It turn out looking GREAT!
