Who knew what great things would happen when Paige, Rob, Abbey and I walked to Cafe' Ole for dinner on Saturday night? We knew that Rob had a killer bike race and was totally hard core. All of us knew that Paige looked really great in her dress and jeans look. We knew it was an awesome night with great weather and we knew we were hungry and that we had great company for enduring the 30 minute wait. We ate great Mexican food on the patio until we were in that hazy, trance-like state and then began our walk home. Still in the trance, we came upon some chairs in front of a cute little bungalow about half a mile from our house. We all took turns trying out the chairs until Paige saw the sign that read, "Free to a good home." Paige thought that was a great idea and affirmed that we were a good home. So we walked half a mile with the chairs on our backs. A few blocks away was a Tiki Torch gathering where one woman called out, "What's with the chairs?" And my witty sister replied, "We're coming to the party at your house and we brought our own chairs." After a few more blocks, we ran across the busy intersection with the chairs and finally made it home. Spontaneous, yet safe and sound. Thanks Paige, for inspiring us to take a chance on four lonely chairs. We will always sit in them and think of you. Now we just need to build a deck in the back yard for you to come and enjoy them.
