Side of the Road Sunday...

Sometimes on Sunday the Sgt and I will go out for a drive looking for adventure. Yup, Sgt and I really know how to live it up, don't we? Anyway, a recent Sunday drive by, netted me this really comfy weather worn rattan tiki chair. Yes, I take free things from the side of the road...I'm one of those people! The chair, which is probably from the 70's, kinda reminded me of the chairs in the picture above! Don't ya just love how they're all sitting the same way and look at their cute shoes!

We also wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your kind comments about the loss of our good dog Bear. We appreciate all your kind sentiments. I have always felt that losing a pet can be just as hard as losing a person. Pets can become just as close to us as humans can and sometimes even closer than our own human families. A loss of a pet is hard, but the joy that they give us in their short life time, always seem worth it to me. Whether good or bad, everyday is a gift.

  2. When I visit family in Ohio I am so jealous of their curbside treasures. It isn't something we have out West.
    I'm sorry about Bear. Our Joey is getting up there in age and I hate to think of losing him.

  3. You are so right about pets. Another {hug} for you.

    And great chair! I wished I lived somewhere where there was anything by the side of the road other than disgusting frat house looking sofas. Egads. LOL

  4. Good score on the chair! There is nothing wrong with 'street scabbing'(as we like to call it) & as far as I'm concerned if it's on the roadside it's there for the taking.

  5. Great chair!

    I agree about pets, a loss of a loved one is always hard, a dog is no less hard, it's part of the family.
