We have had this old clunker couch downstairs that we traded for carpet cleaning with some friends a few years back. Derek had leaned on his chair so much, no one could sit in it but him...we desperately needed a new couch, but were trying to save up for a nice one. Well, my sister totally saved us. They just remodled their house and couldn't fit their couch(only 2 years old) back in and when we stayed with them in Colorado we asked about the couch in the garage. She said we could just have it..just like that! I hope to be more giving like she is, that is a very admirable quality about her and her family! We were thrilled, we rented a Ryder Truck and loaded it up, then DA started going through her home and finding all sorts of her "junk" which turned into our treasures. Even the kids freely gave up some items for the Acker family. I am usually heart broken to go home after vacations...this time, I was so excited to set up my new basement! We changed things all around, threw out a bunch of junk and we LOVE our new basement!!
THANK YOU GILL FAMILY!!! We LOVE You!!
We were able to fit in her round kitchen table that she is giving away to Stacie and Jess. We are breaking it in for them...Derek's not sure he will be able to let that go;)...again, we need to learn to let go and give!!! Time to come for a visit to get your table guys!!! In the meantime, we'll take good care of it!
