On Sat afternoon, Ashlyn and I discovered a Free Iron table sitting in front of a house down the street. It had a "Free" sign on it and was about 2 blocks away. We sent the boys in the house and took out the car seats and drove back a little excited to pick it up.
When we got there, we discovered it didn't fit in the back of our Journey. So our adventure began...
We turned the table on it's side and began rolling it down the hill in the street. We talked about hair and tennis as we walked. We got about 3 or 4 funny looks while we rolled it to our house. We even were offered a wheel barrow from a nice neighbor on the corner. Once we got it home, we walked back up the hill and picked up our car. It was a little funny. Then we went to Lowe's and bought some primer and brown spray paint. After a few hours, it looked as good as new. We pulled out a new umbrella we had bought on clearance at Target in November ($3.48) and some old green lawn chairs from the garage....tada, our new patio set, ready for some BBQ fun...
