Wouldn't You Know It

Okay, so they delivered the new stove and table today at pretty much the same time. Which meant DD was trying to sweep the floor where the old stove was before they put the new stove in at the same time she was trying to direct the furniture people on where to put the new table. Then having to sign both sets of delivery papers at the same time. That's a lot for her. So she calls me to tell me that they have been delivered, and is she excited about either of the new items? Noooo, she is excited about the new little dog she found by the mailbox.

First, here is the picture of our new stove.







It's a pretty cool stove. But the top looks like a BBQ grill. I do like how the whole top is one smooth layer so you can just slide a pan over without having to pick it up. And that big burner in the middle is supposed to be great with a griddle. We ordered a griddle for it and that should be in Friday. The burner on the right is what is called a power burner. Supposed to heat real fast, real quick so you can boil water in half the time. Bet you didn't think I knew this much about stoves, did you?

And here is the new table Bob bought for the kids.



Bear in mind that the kids have been sitting at this little picnic table that I bought 1-1/2 years ago at Ikea. Poor Cheyenne was really getting uncomfortable at it because her knees kept hitting the bottom of the table and she had no where to put her legs. This table has both sides that are drop-down as you can see, so we can slide it completely up to the wall for the kids or move it out so four people can sit there, which doesn't really happen much. There are four chairs that go with the table, but we really don't have room for all four chairs. Not sure what we will do about that. It amazes me that whoever designed this house must have had something against eating at a table because there is absolutely no place for one here.

Now here is the new little dog that got everyone so excited.





Now this little dog looks like a small black version of Chelsea that the kids had when they were young. But this one is a toy version. She has taken to Brandi like I have never seen. Doesn't like to be more than a step away from her and gets real excited if Brandi puts her down. She is most content just sitting on Brandi's lap. You should have seen her dance around on my bed while I was trying to take her picture. She was trying so hard to get back into Brandi's arms, but she couldn't reach her. It was so comical, I should have gotten my camcorder out instead of the camera. Brandi doesn't want anyone to claim this dog, but she has agreed to put FOUND signs up in the neighborhood and make a concerted effort to locate any owners. Just what we need - another dog.
