Daughter-in-law
An Update:
My daughter-in-law had a very rough Labor Day weekend. Tuesday morning she went to her doctor’s office, he said she had to check into the hospital immediately and would have surgery that day. She had an infection and areas that needed repair from the C-section. Recovery has been a slow journey. And can you imagine, just giving birth to a beautiful baby boy only to be separated from him? But, she did get to see him every day by way of her mom taking vacation days.
She was told she might get to go home Friday, but when Friday came the doctor said no because the hospital couldn’t get something she needed to take home that would help with recovery. It hadn't been ordered. She would have to stay in the hospital all weekend. Our hearts sank. Then an Angel (from the hospital) Friday afternoon hurried paperwork through to the medical supply place and by Saturday evening my D-I-L went home. My son and his family are together again. Woo Who!
It has been a very sad and stressful week. But, she is home and (we all hope) on the mend.
CHAIRS
I've needed new chairs in my dining room for a couple of years. Even though I glued and re-glued the old chairs (more than once) they continued to be rickety and frankly scary to sit in. They fell apart constantly and if not they creaked and groaned to make you think they would fall apart.
You know how long it takes me to decide on anything new....
But, a few weeks ago I ordered six new chairs from Overstock.com. The gray/creamy green chair had super great reviews. Two weeks ago they arrived. With all that has been going on, I had to put them together when I found the time.
I wasn't even sure I could do it, but I did--do it.
They are prettier than the photos. Trust me. They are sturdy chairs and I intend to rate them--five stars. That's how pleased I am.
So that's it for Monday. I am exhausted mentally and emotionally, but very glad to have last week behind us. Again, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

I hope my family likes them. Don't tell them I put the chairs together myself. It's our little secret. OK?

I like Overstock.com, too. :)
And the chairs look lovely! So does your dining room! Great job! :-)
I really like your new chairs and your dining room.
I shall keep your secret or they may be calling you every time a box says, "some assembly needed"
Those old chairs sounded scary but way to go for assembling the new ones. Which by the way, look great.
Peace and god be with you this week :D

The chairs...too funny, "Don't tell them I put them together myself" ha ha ha! Let me guess, you'd have a bunch of people standing around then? :-)
Love your new chairs. You are a Wonder Woman putting those together with all that was going on. They look great around the table.

Your chairs are lovely. It's great to meet someone who is as chair=crazy as I am!
Your new chairs are lovely and look as if they belong in your dining room. They give it a little color punch. Good job :)
So glad to hear your DIL is home. Thoughts and prayers, with her and the family.
LOVE the chairs! I won't tell anyone.... I swear. ;-)
Can't imagine how hard must have been to be away from her baby.
Your chairs are great and fit perfectly to your dinning room.
You're so crafty!
