In Memoriam

As mentioned in my last post, our Memorial Day weekend was spent laboring over my mother's hardwood floors. However, we did manage to find some time to mourn the loss of a ...... T.V. Friday night once we arrived, we began moving furniture out to clear some space for the new floor. My mother decided to move her TV to the couch while John and I relocated the entertainment center. After hearing an extremely loud boom we ran out to see what/who was hurt and found the TV broken in pieces. Now for those of you that know us, TV is a dear dear friend to our family. And, since my Mom is an empty nester, she and the TV are rather close. Since this was the only TV in the house, we spent a rather long time staring at the pieces in shock and sadness. Actually John and I had a harder time adjusting than my mom did. Her only entertainment, down the drain, just like that. Not to mention our source of entertainment for the weekend. It was hilarious how sad we actually were over her loss. Well after spending the majority of Saturday laying floor and shopping craigslist, Best Buy, and Circuit City for a replacement TV our lifesavers Kyle and Cassie called and said they had an old one she could have. However, it involved a last minute trip to Camdenton on Sunday to pick it up. So after church we headed out on our 1 1/2 hour drive to visit Kyle & Cassie. She fed us dinner and sent us home with a TV - what a great visit!! Nah really, it was an enjoyable visit to see their cute little house and their cute nursery for the little girl they are expecting in October. We lounged and ate and visited and ate some more before we headed out with our TV in tow. So, what was a saddening thing turned into a great visit for all of us and a nice relaxing Sunday before we resumed our hardwood floor laying on Monday. Hope everyone else had a great Memorial Day weekend!
