Since we are such a small group, I am going to say, "You guys remember" that several years ago I was tearing up the carpeting in the house. I showed you the picture of the mismatched wood in the living room. We all decided that I should leave the bottom carpet down.
Today, I practically gave away my beautiful sectional. Duckling will now have room to play in here.
Since Duckling is around, I needed to get rid of that dusty, moldy, disintegrating carpet. I was disgusted and overwhelmed to see the damage that the termites had done. I did not forget that I had had termites, but I forgot that there would be damage to the floor. I was just thinking that I might find one or two dead ones in the corners once the carpet was up.
I have arranged the living room… For now. I can't say for the night, because I think I'm going to go out to the back porch/sun room tonight to get my two end tables that I've been storing there.
After that, I need to decide whether or not I am going to leave my desk in the dining room. I like that the desk is there where I can keep an eye on other things. Duckling, but the rest of the house as well. Like, when I have company in the morning. I can still be on here, and not miss out on being with them. Besides, I would have to put a coffee pot in the room with my desk!!
Anyway, I really do like the other room as her playroom. We will discuss the deacons bench and a further date!

So, here's my living room throughout the day.

The darker chair is actually the dog's. The blanket on the floor between the chairs is his as well. While I have been posting, he finally settled down onto it to sleep. Before that, he was on my chair with me ... Except when I was actually on the computer, and he was on my chair by himself. That is not like him, because my chair is usually too high for him to jump onto.
