Our table has been part of our family for more than 30 years. It’s been with us though weddings, births, birthdays, and mourning.<\/p>\n

Its served countless breakfasts, dinners, perhaps just a few fewer lunches.. and sat laden for more parties than I can remember .. countless friends have sat around that table.. It’s been the site of many a night-before school projects, or night-before tax session.. i’ve written books on that tables, the kids have written papers, quilts have been made, cell phones repairs, . dianes made thousand and thousand \u00a0of wonderful meals.. on it.. m and 10’s of thousands of samstones have been made there..<\/p>\n

today that table needed a little TLC.. it’s been wobbly for decades.. lately its gotten so wobbly and squeaky that’ it was staring to be hard to use..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

so I flipped it over and saw what could be done.. we stretched out its skeleton and looked for all the wobbliness..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I unscrewed the table from the frame.. while I was there.. I put a little reminder to the next person who takes it apart.. ‘we were all here’.. at least in spirit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the source of the porblem was the old 19 century hardware.. no threads left… \u00a0 I assisted with a little 21st sentory deck screes.. mybe not \u00a0enhancing the value of the table as an antique.. but definitely adding to its utility..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

when done, i plugged in tall the leaves to full party mode.. solid as a rock !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

now theSam days and Thnaksgiving are over.. it’s time to shrink it bacl to space for just the three of us.. back to a little more peace.. and a little less activity.. unitl the next swirl<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks you table.. for all you have done for us.. we are happy to have you back, and we wish you long life.. I hope you next \u00a030 years are as full of love and life as the \u00a0last ones have been .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n
