Furniture Hunt

Just got back from furniture shopping at one of our favorite places, ASHELY FURNITURE. We first traveled to Quakertown, PA and found a wonderful armless chair. At first we were looking for an over sized chair but then decided that the armless was the best fit (for our limited space).

We were also in search of a new entertainment center or what we call a glorified 'tv stand'. Meaning it's just one long stand with cabinets and drawers. Sue found one online that we both liked. The Quakertown store did not have the tv stand but the store in Wind Gap (about 20 minutes from our house). This was in the other direction of where we were so we brought the chair home.. refreshed.. and headed back out to Wind Gap.

Once we got there we went on a furious hunt for the infamous 'tv stand'. After finding a sales person we were lead down a path of glorious couches and into a living area set up with the 'infamous tv stand'. The floor model was pretty banged up so we had to order one. It will arrive this Friday! What is great is that if you can take the furniture home yourself they give you a 10% discount. Since we got a Grand Caravan a couple of months ago it's paid off pretty well in that we don't have to pay to have things delivered.. and a discount on top is even better.

Sue was disappointed that we could not bring it home today but it will be worth the wait. We saw a couple of other tv stands that would have suited our living area but we didn't want to settle on something we'd want to replace in a couple of years.

And now here I sit typing and drinking one of my favorite wines "SMOKING LOON"
I basically bought my first bottle of the Merlot maybe 5 years ago simply because of the name (and the price). It used to cost 7.99 a bottle but I think after people found out how great tasting a wine it was at such a low price it now costs 10.99 a bottle. Still not too bad. Tonight it's Cabernet Sauvignon! Now I'm not a wine expert like Timmay but I know when I like something and this wine (Merlot or C.Sauvignon) is very tasty. Either one of these goes quite well with Roast Pork Lo Mein and some egg-drop soup.

I don't pay attention to what you can or can't eat with a certain wine. Although, I would recommend a good Merlot with some Nacho flavored Doritos.. just don't over-indulge yourself.

I will be adding an exclusive New Years Eve video soon recorded live at Timmay's Woodside! So stay tuned...
