Movin’ on Up

After owning this house nearly 5 years we finally bought a dining room table and 4 chairs to replace our plastic table and  patio chairs.  Two years ago the Mabe stove replaced the  two burner flameneta and now a dining room set. Crazy, no? God bless Social Security! We’re movin’ on up in the world!We purchased the set from a  friend who owns a rustico furniture store. We’ve known Haddy Haddad for probably 15 years. We met her at small beach restaurant  where we used to stop between dives on the old slow boats for lunch of empanadas.  One day, while Peggy was out on the boat, Ed started telling Haddy what a drunk Peggy was.  He really had Haddy feeling sorry for him, pobrecito Eduardo. When Peggy came back to the beach, she knew something was up.  Ed confessed pretty quickly with the result of Haddy and Peggy pounding him on each of his shoulders. Funny. Back to our purchase, after not seeing anything that we wanted to ditch our fine plastic table for in her store, Haddy took us to a 3 story warehouse.  After climbing over furniture and performing a minor archaeological dig, we found our table in pieces.  A few days later, voila, Haddy’s husband delivered our fine furniture.
