Of tables, poorly placed rabbits and disappointing food.

After the husband decided on leather chairs for his man cave, the focus switched to a table to put in front of them. Having just spent two exhausting days in and out of a disturbingly high number of furniture stores, I was less than enthusiastic. And when I saw what kind of tables he was considering?

(Tables should not have wheels!) I was even less enthusiastic.

Thinking he’d taken leave of his senses, I cried Uncle and headed for the ladies room before our two and a half hour long drive home.

And if there was ever a stranger place to decorate with rabbits? I don’t know where it would be. No one needs a fluffle of Thumpers looking over their shoulder in a bathroom stall. Talk about performance anxiety… geesh. ( And yes, a group of rabbits really is called a fluffle. Which, when you think about it… is totally spot on. )

On the way home we stopped at a restaurant we’ve always enjoyed but haven’t frequented since early 2020.

Is the beer really better there? I don’t know, but they have an extensive list to be sure. They also pour some interesting martinis …..

While the food looked wonderful, shrimp stir fry for me… Parmesan baked haddock for the husband… both were dry as a bone, overcooked and cool when they reached the table. French onion soup forgotten and delivered with the meal? That’s a big no no. By the time the husband started his fish, it was stone cold. A disappointing visit to a place we used to love.

  3. Rabbit tiles in the bathroom? Tables with wheels? Then to top it all off, the food that took a great picture, but not appetizing? I’m sorry you leather chair shopping went totally crapola. At least the drinks were good, tiny but good.

  4. At one point in my life I thought that industrial wagons made a good coffee tables as did old wire reels and stacked pallets. But now I have reverted to early Salvation Army kitsch … a flat spot for the remote and bowl of popcorn is sufficient unto the day. And in our house, it also serves as a beagle day bed …
