spending $5

 Found!  Today at the Rehab Store where we'd gone for a break in our day!
Five dollars went a long way!
My husband went right to work cleaning the enamel top
 and removing the paint from the legs
After the store visit, we took Dad to the historic (100+ years old) Coney Island
in downtown Fort Wayne, IN for (you guessed it) coney dogs!
It was pretty ironic to sit a a table that appeared to be the same size
and built of the same materials as the one we'd just purchased!
***
Our sweet day was enjoyed even more as the sunshine slowly emerged,
replacing the cloudy sky that had hovered gloomily over us
for the past few days...

  2. It is nice to see your hubby continuing to use his hands so much! A Coney dog sounds good right now! Sun promised but hardly any today. More rain coming. Not complaining, just saying......

  3. What I wouldn't give for a real hot dog these days. Texas is good for BBQ, but sucks for hot dogs. Looking forward to seeing your table after it's done.

    1. This place has quite a reputation. Nothing fancy but great service and hot dogs with steamed buns. They say over 2,000 served daily...

  4. I can't wait to see the table when it's finished. Your dad looks very pensive. Looking at the menu? Waiting for his coney dog? Famished? xo
