I did get my 4 mile walk in this morning with a couple of friends but it rained for the rest of the day, limiting any yard work or outside activities. I was happy to glimpse our first peek of autumn, however, when I looked out the back window, through the pouring rain and spotted some leaves changing color. I love the fall!
We have finally unpacked and gathered all of the pieces and parts to our beloved air hockey table. Josh put in the call to the 3rd party assembler (isn't that an unusual job?) and they finally set up an appointment to come out from Cincinnati today and put the table together. We knew that a couple of pieces had been broken in the move but we thought these were ones that we could fix or just put up with. We were all so excited to get our table put together and to have a favorite past-time re-initiated. You can imagine my disappointment then when the assemblers carried the huge, main part of the table down to the basement and unwrapped it, only to find a big divot in the playing surface! This makes it completely unusable so I asked them to just take it back up to the garage and go on their way. We were crushed... We have certainly had more damaged items during this move than any previous one. Lots of claim forms and broken hearts...
Fortunately, the new ottoman that I had ordered 4 weeks ago arrived shortly afterward so my spirits perked back up. After 7 years with our big, homemade ottoman, we were ready for a change. Love it!
