He gave me some furniture he didn't need. This is just some of the neat stuff he gave me.

Yes it was. We also went to lunch at Pete's Grill, and we discovered that place is totally Deaf friendly. It wasn't that way the last time I was there. They even had a menu for us to look at and make our choices, something they didn't have before.

Ditto that...and congrats, ChicagoBlue....I gave on oldest son a dining room suite not too long ago....they were happy to get it, as they had to eat standing up or at the breakfast bar with no stools....(young couple)...

I don't do chairs. Now shelves I can do. And I don't do tables, either.

I'd like to do some exploring in other places someday. :hmm: I remember doing sanding a wooden dining room table and repainting it and polishing it. The project took about 3 months to finish. Felt good after it was-- it was in need of a major do-over.
 
Yeah, at Pete's, we talked about Cardinals baseball team. As a Cubs fan, I have great respect for St. Louis Cardinals. Not that I need to like them, but they are a good baseball team. It was a great joy talking to someone who has a passion for Cardinals.

Pete's Grill was very nice to Mark and me. I live about 10 minutes away from that place and I never ate there. I want to thank Mark for introducing me to that place. I would hope to visit this place again in the near future.

I'm very glad to hear that Mark is making a good use of those furnitures. Enjoy!!!

Working with wood is fun. You can be creative and whatnot. There are plenty of ways to make use of wood.

Not a professional...but I love to refinish furniture also. Did my Bamboo Bookcases last year...took quite a while...but they are beautiful and will last forever....Chose a Dark Walnut color to refinish them.
