Goodbye to an old friend

This blog is going to mean a lot to some people and will not mean anything to others. The orange couch is gone. Ben and I are doing some spring cleaning and the orange couch was on the list of things to go. It was getting very old, stinky, making a mess and losing its comfyness. So, Ben took some pictures, we said goodbye and he choppped it in half to be able to move it. He loaded it into his truck and it awaits its fate at the dump.
It was a good couch. We kept a scrap of fabric. Ben said that the fabric that was exposed all these years and should have been used and worn...was the same color as the fabric that never saw sunlight. (An amazing blend of nylon and polyester I guess) He took pictures of the underneath to show grandpa's workmanship...the simca seats. It has been in the family since the 60's (we believe...maybe longer) and now it is gone.
So we say, so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, a deux!
