Today at an estate sale I found a chest of drawers that looked like it would do for Andrew's room. It was more of a functional piece of furniture than a particularly nice piece, but it was in good condition, and we need something in his room, especially since we've raided his dresser for Mary Lee's room. I called Mike and he drove over to look at it. The price was $45.
He noticed that there was a dresser to match, also $45. (The dresser had been hidden behind some other things; he's good at finding things like that.) Both tags said "or best offer." So he asked how much the lady would take. She said $40 for both! I just about fell over. But I've learned over the years not to let anything show on my face. Mike knows how to haggle over a price, and in the past I have sometimes come close to ruining a deal by saying too much. Anyway, without saying anything else to give away what he was thinking, he said we'd take both. I wrote the check for $40 and we brought them home!
I love a good deal like that.

I found your blog through Mrs. Bartlet. She had a link on her page to yours. I was so excited to have discovered your blog and be able to keep up with you.
To answer your question- yes, Midnight is a full-sized collie. He is only 6 months and still has some growing to do. We did get him from my dad.
Thanks for your encouraging words, Mrs. Bailes. You're special to us as well and being in your homeroom class my senior year will always stick out in my mind when thinking back to the high school years. After all, we did "fall in love" in your class. :)
Look forward to keeping in touch with you.
