February 4

This is the coffee table I picked out for our family room.

It's a little hard to tell, but it's designed kind of like a Trivial Pursuit wheel: there are four wedge seats nestled underneath. So we have plenty of extra seating.

Although we can't use those chairs right now, when I look at my table, I look forward to the day when we will be able to have people over to use them.

And that thought gives me a sense of hope.
