Lazy

This story has a happy ending.

Regular readers of this blog, "regular" holding a different connotation to typical retired men and women, referring to certain internal lower plumbing functions best left unsaid but still subject to allusion, if you know what I mean and you certainly do now about the word "regular"...where were we...typical retired men and women sometimes rambling on and on about different topics, wandering further and further from the path on which they set out, until they find themselves without an audience, talking to themselves, leading others to doubt their upper capacities....

Have I mentioned this before?

Now then.  Regular readers of this irregular blog know that Jenna and I live in an RV and that RV stands for "recreational vehicle."  Nowhere in that description does one find the word "furniture," with good reason.  One cannot find furniture in an RV.  Instead one uses objects on which one can sit and lie without comfort or hope of reaching some outer peace.

Our RV is thus typical.  In two years, we have replaced the bed, two of four kitchen chairs, and two recliners.  Only our sofa left.

You can see where this is going.  I believe that I can too.

Sofa presented a special challenge.  It makes into a somewhat comfortable single bed.  And provides a lot of food storage underneath the cushions.  Adequate Storage is the Holy Grail in an RV.  But then, so is comfort.

The promise of new chairs provided the motivation for Jenna to find new places for our edible commodities.   Space where space did not exist prior!

Found ourselves, finally, in a LazyBoy store.  Among other "regular" customers.  And found our chairs.

Posted an advertisement in the Free Section of the local Craigs list.  Twenty minutes later - sold!  We spent over an hour taking the couch apart to move it out.  MANY screws and bolts.  I'm glad I won't try to put it back together.
