February 5

The recliner for the family room arrived this morning. Although no one heard the delivery guy at the door, we were very pleased to find that this go-round, our heavy item had been dragged to the stop of the flight of stairs rather than left at the bottom.

Isaac has become Adam's go-to guy for moving heavy boxes, so the two of them worked together to maneuver it into the house. And as I sit here watching an old episode of "Columbo," the chair sits across the room from me.

So tonight I'm grateful for the blessing of furniture (and more seating! Yay!) and for strong people who can lug it inside.
