Disposable Furniture

Here is what we are using for bedside tables since the real ones sold. I suppose I could throw a cloth over them but then I got rid of most of our linens too. Why do I have two radios, you ask? The top one is a clock radio my husband gave me 34 years ago. The only thing it can do now is give us the time in nice bright digital numbers - handy when I wake up during the night and wonder what the time is. I'm emotionally attached to it. The other one is an emergency, hand cranked radio that we'll take with us to Costa Rica for those pesky power outages we have heard about. It runs on electricity but also can be hand cranked to power up the battery. I have earphones plugged into it so I can listen to the old time radio shows late at night.

Soon We'll Be Eating Off the Floor

Our two bedside tables went out the door today. It's so nice dealing with buyers who mean what they say and say what they mean ... they show up when they say they will.

Then I had to scratch my head - what will we use for holding reading lamps, radios, books, etc. Plus these tables had drawers where we stored sweaters. The sweaters went into our closet and I concocted new tables out of the big boxes computers come in which we'd been saving in the garage, for some reason.

They look like heck but, heck, they serve the same purpose!
