Out with the Old and In with the "New"

Yesterday was a big day for me.  I finally found a hutch that I liked and was in my price range.  My go to website for furniture is the ever so popular Portland Craigslist.  If my memory serves me right, it is the second most used Craigslist website after San Francisco and I love selling and buying off of it.

When we purchased our home it came partially furnished and some pieces are wonderful and fit my taste and some not so much.  Case in point the buffet in the photo below.  Thankfully due to my bargain pricing, I sold it a few hours after posting it on Craigslist to a couple driving through Portland from Boise.

Now after renting a Uhaul cargo van, driving down to Sherwood in the pouring rain, having two wonderful friends help me unload it (thank you again Adam and Sybil), I can now store all of our dishes in the kitchen!

Where was Scott during all of this?  Golfing at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, it is his annual guys weekend and it appears there was a touch of wind yesterday.
