new sofa

dan has done it again. he amazes me. he talked about getting rid of those dead trees in front of our house for forever. then, one day, he mentioned it again and 5 minutes later those trees were down. he has been talking about getting a new sofa for over a year... then sunday he said we'd go get one monday night. just like that. poof! we went to the store and after only about 20 minutes (they were closing soon:)) we had a new sofa picked out, paid for, and in the back of the pickup. now, i know he said he wanted to do it as a sort of mother's day gift to me... but the boys totally picked it out. my top pick could not compete with their pick... a sofa with recliners on each end! my sofa was even cheaper! it is a very nice sofa and matches the living room, carpet and recliner. i am very happy.

note: my great grandmother elerene used to call her sofa a "davenport". she also referred to the butt as a "hump-da-la-la". jay's gram used to refer to a butt as a "po po", or so he said. anyone else have a funny family name for the old keister?

p.s. here is a photo of andy reading to his uncle jake on the ugly old sofa.
