New dining room table:
Romy has in the last dozen years or so wanted a “real” dining room set.
No argument here.
A couple of months ago we purchased a new dining room set (table and four chairs); it arrived last week.
From Crest Furniture. The delivery was a bit borked up, but resoleved.
YES – better tables and so on!

It’s the 100-year anniversary of the National Park Service. As Ken Burns has noted – and filmed – it sure does seem to be “America’s Best Idea.”
Some of the parks pictured here are technically “national landmarks” or such, but still. Visit them all!
Paid off the balance of our house today. Target payoff early 2018; hey, we came in a year and a half early!
Should be a “pop the champagne” moment, but not really.
Had to write a check; got a receipt for said check.
Nothing to sign except the check. No fireworks/sparklers.
Ya know, this is spozed to be the American Dream.
NOTE: The title is a riff on when we negotiated the last mortgage: Our House.
