A Big Day
Saturday was a big day: we bought a dining room table, and we had our first Roseville houseguests. We bought the table at Denio’s, the flea and farmer’s market we’ve been going to every weekend. The table is enormous, with six chairs but room for ten—the wide tabletop has me itching to take on some kind of complex craft project. When we found the table, we asked the seller if he’d deliver it to us. He initially said no, but after realizing we couldn’t buy it otherwise, he changed his mind and said yes. We gave him half the money and our address; I surreptitiously snapped a few pictures of him with my cell phone while Andrew gave him directions. We mused on whether we’d actually see the table later in the day. We did.
Beth and Nate and the babies came up from Napa Saturday afternoon, and we had a barbeque in our backyard. It was quite nice to eat outside in the shade of the redwood tree, eating fresh tomatillo salsa and guacamole and strawberry shortcake we’d made with produce we’d gotten that day from the farmer’s market. And the babies didn’t seem to mind that our entire downstairs area is unfurnished—they seemed to enjoy running around the completely empty space. Beth and Nate also lent us a car seat and a baby bathtub—two things I can cross off our voluminous baby registry list now. Other people doing the research and test-driving—ideal for us baby novices.
