Picnic Table

Joseph finished the picinic table! Last weekend some members of the elder's quorum got together to help a family in our ward load up a moving truck. After they were done there, Joseph invited several of them over to our house to help move the table from the garage to the back patio. It is so big and heavy. When the day comes that we want to sell the house, we will most likely try to sell the table with it because it will be so hard to move. The umbrella has kind of a funny story behind it. One Saturday about a month ago, we were going from yard sale to yard sale and found an umbrella we knew was just a little too small for the table. The price tag was $20.00, but I talked the owner down to $10.00 figuring that we could try it on the table and if it didn't work out I could always just try selling it on craigslist. We stuffed the umbrella into the car and continued going to yard sales. I think it was the very next yard sale we stopped at that coincidentally also had a yard umbrella for sale for $20.00. We knew this one would be the perfect size and everything. The only problem was that it was missing the pole, but Joseph thought that would be an easy fix. I again talked the seller down to $10.00 and we again somehow stuffed a second and bigger umbrella into the car! A couple weeks later, our neighbors across the street put on a nieghborhood yard sale and told everyone to bring things over to sell. We brought over the smaller umbrella and put a price tag of $20.00 on it. Later that morning a guy came up to Joseph and asked if he would take $10.00 for it. Joseph said, "sold!"
