Looking around at our furniture

My wife and I have been talking about retiring some of our old furniture.  Some of the old hand-me-downs that we’ve loved for years are so well-loved that they are no longer safe to use, or would cost more to fix up than to replace.  So we’re starting to take a look around the Internet to see what kind of good prices we can get to replace those items.  We found a good discount place on the Internet that sells a wide selection of furniture ranging from kids furniture to living and dining room furniture to bedroom suites.  Now the big challenge is to agree on what we like – we have very different tastes!

Got home in time

Well the traffic was not bad at all getting to the doctor’s office – in fact it was so light that we ended up arriving a lot earlier than we needed to – a whole hour early!  I didn’t think ahead to bring something to read, so we drove up and down the road for a few minutes looking for a store that we could go in to buy a magazine, but the only stores we found were blocked off by police cars because of an accident, so I told my wife to just skip it and just go to the doctor’s.  Surprisingly the doctor saw us right away, and we were in and out before my appointment time!  That was a huge surprise!  So we got home in time to see the Inauguration ceremony on television.  Unbelievable how may people were there, braving the cold!  I was glad to be warm and comfortable in my own home.
