kaiden's chair

The other night Kaiden and Randy said "goodbye" to one of our good, but crazy, friends. He's moving far away to pursue his dreams... Good luck Ryan! We'll miss your crazy antics - fish, bleach, and all!
Yesterday:

We took a leisurely walk through the "ghetto" while waiting for Big Red's oil change. We found some neat stores and picked up these treasures...

A striking painting done on a piece of plywood.


A green chair that has so much character I couldn't possibly pass it up.

This is a very old bird feeder that needs a little TLC. I love the chipped paint and the missing roof.
From the moment we walked into the store Kaiden insisted that this red chair was "his chair. He wouldn't leave without it and plopped his little but down until we agreed that the chair suited him and it could come home with us. He usually could care less about such things but this chair must be pretty darn special!

The second we got home he carried it into his room and put it in just the right spot. He sat down and said thoughtfully: "I remember this chair. It might be mine, but they made a different chair out of it."

Kaiden reunited with his chair.

The chiar is really cute Karla! It will go well in his room if he ever gets a little desk. The store we got the chairs and birdfeeder from was a "salvage" joint but it wasn't Goodwill. But you know how we LOVE Goodwill...I really miss the Super Goodwill in Ft.Myers. Remember going there Jill?
