See the new sofa?  Right there next to the desk chair?  No?  Neither do I.  That's because it's not here.  It's a fairly long story but there are restrictions on deliveries in condos, ours is 9-5:00 and not one minute after.  That was clearly written on the order.  

Someone at the delivery department said it wasn't convenient and changed to to 4-8:00.  When I called to say it didn't come they said it would be there before 8:00.  No, sorry, it won't be allowed in.  I had the gate called, the manager called, the elevator padded, and the doorman told.  So - I have no sofa.  Oh, and the delivery fee for this great service was almost a hundred bucks.  



This is what it should look like.  I will toss or recover the pillows but the sofa is very plain and it is actually a denim slip cover, washable.  And a bed with upgraded mattress and ottoman.  So maybe next week, I am working with a nice person now, someone that seems to have a brain so I am hopeful.  Stay tuned.

In the meantime all is still well in my world.  I got my hour in the pool before the rain came and that was lovely.  And today I have canasta.  With mostly people I like. (insert smile here).

Oh, and that top photo is old because my tv is on that wall now but you get the idea.  Have a great Thursday y'all.  I sure will too.  Promise.

  1. I ♥♥♥ that orchid art. I have been perusing orchid photos for inspiration to paint one. Did you know I used to have orchids? Not that I am any sort of professional in any way shape or form - I just love them. I had about 4-5 dozen orchids. I had to leave them all with a friend in Florida when I moved because the yard in my house in Georgia was much too sunny for them.

    And my cats kept breaking the bloom spikes on my inside plants. *sigh*

    Buggers to no couch because people can't follow simple instructions.

    Have yourself a lovely day! And me, too. big hugs xoxo

  6. UGH... I've been there with those rules and deliveries. I know how frustrating it is when the shipper doesn't understand that the special instructions are really true. Hope you get it today.
