Couchy

The loving generosity of our family has gotten us through years of couch and general furniture needs. The flowered couch in the image below was my parent's for years. Then it went with me to college, my first apartment, our first house, and then SLC. Millie will have to confirm this, but I think that couch is going on 15 years.

The white couch has had quite a wild adventure. It was originally Grant's aunt and uncle's (Jim and Mahvash). Then, each of Grant's siblings (and maybe even some cousins) have had ownership of it at one time or another. It was once a bright white, but now has turned cream. It has braved many homes and has been supporting behinds for more than 20 years. Again, Jim and Mahvash will have to confirm its age.

After using the "turn the cushion over" technique to hide tears and stains, it was finally time for us to purchase a couch of our very own.



We got a killer deal over President's Day. And here it is, our new sectional and ottoman. My favorite feature is that the ottoman has a secret compartment to hide things. And as Grant knows, I love to hide things before company comes over!



And another view. Grant already claimed the corner seat since he has to park outside during the winter months. Fair enough. Bill has picked the spot where the red blanket is. He is also happy with our purchase. We only hope this couch will have a story to tell in the decades to come.



We invite those who have owned the above mentioned couches to share a memory of them. And Ali, don't worry, the tan recliner is still kicking!
