Today GG fell through a glass and wicker coffee table we've had as a hand-me-down from his parents. He was sitting on it, holding T-man while watching the NFL draft. I shrieked and the kids cried in response... and all were fine in the aftermath. That is, except for the table.
Ode to fair table
You were a good, old boy.
You allowed many years of feet resting and glass holding.
You endured thousands of hours of college football Saturdays and nonsensical TV surfing.
You sat in the unused times, waiting to serve your purpose.
You hoped for a Pride and Prejudice marathon or, perhaps, an epic viewing of Anne of Green Gables.
You prayed for a rare dinner in front of the TV.
You were solid and sturdy.
You were rather grand.
Until today.
We will miss you.
We will miss you.

You have to be a woman (or GG) to understand! I love that my hubby enjoys those flicks. haha ;)
Don't worry, my hubby enjoys them too! And I must take credit for turning both of the Gasperini's into Pride and Prejudice fans.
Kel, you're so right. I owe my PP and AOGG loves to you. Thank goodness for 'dead week' senior year for you to introduce me to lovable Anne and co. PP came at a later Thanksgiving break rendezvous. Fantastic!
GG loves Anne of Green Gables?!? Well I suppose that explains M's high heels...
;-)

Thanks for the link to your blog! So sorry about the table. :-(
Ok. Let's get this straight. Anne of Green Gables is fine, but the real reason I have watched it in the past is either because it was the only thing on while making a road trip, or I was procrastinating from doing studying. Pride & Prejudice (A&E version), on the other hand, now that's a great flick!
