Well, the exciting news of today is that Paul bought a new chair, again. If you remember, last May we bought a leather chair and couch for the family room.
To backtrack, Paul has always loved the leather chair that they used to have at L.L. Bean. Every time we went there, he would always sit (and sleep) in that chair while I shopped. This picture was taken back in 2003.
He used to say that maybe some day he would buy that chair. A few years ago L. L. Bean stopped selling that leather furniture. They came out with a new Ultralite series, but Paul really didn't think it was comfortable. When we decided to buy a new chair last year, he called the manufacturer of the L.L. Bean chair to see if he could buy it anywhere. They said it was a style that they specifically made for L.L. Bean. So, we ended up buying a leather couch and chair from Bob's. I love the couch, but Paul has never been really happy with the chair. He says it's great to sit in but not to fall asleep in,LOL. He wakes up stiff and sore.
To our surprise, when we walked into the Home Store at L.L. Bean, there was the same leather chair. After much back and forth, we finally bought the chair and ottoman and it is in our car. We are going to use the other chair in our family room and put one of the Morris chairs in the living room.
Who knew that this day would turn out like this. I'm really happy he finally has this chair.
In other news, we have been having a very relaxing vacation, riding around our old haunts, shopping, eating and just enjoying our little getaway.
