Our Kitchen Table Plus This and That

For years, my formal dining room table has often been my "staging area" where I would put things for an upcoming event I was involved in.  In our apartment in Salt Lake, I was able to use our dining table for that same purpose because we had a large kitchen peninsula with bar stools to eat at.  Here we have a tiny kitchen, so we ended up setting up our folding table to serve that possible.  When we have a puzzle going, it still is a tight fit for eating at the table.

And as proof that I actually know how to hand sew something despite rarely using the talent in my adult life, I mended a small hole in the seam of my new temple dress where they missed catching the whole seam during production.  I liked the temple dress and decided that it wasn't worth trying to send it back for another one. I did have to buy the thread and the needle but easier than returning something to the post office.

And a day or two after February 13 (the 1st anniversary of owning our new car), we went over the 30,000.  Miles rack up when you are driving Arkansas scenic byways.
