Mom & Dad's New Place - Part II

After our group visit to TM, we refueled at Greg's Grill, a river-front restaurant, in The Old Mill District.  We had a window seat and watched it snow on the river.  Barb ran across the street to REI and found a belt to hold her pants up while the rest of us heard the story of how Robin met Clem and their subsequent wedding.  On the day they got married, Robin told Clem to go ahead to the church as she might or might not show up for the wedding.  As they recently celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary, she obviously showed up!

With full stomachs and pants well secured, we headed off to Lazy Boy.  Barb had determined that we needed an "apartment-sized" couch.  And we found an acceptable one pretty quickly (there were only three models of that size).  Finding a couple lounge chairs was more complicated as there were a million models.  A few photos follow:

And the Barbara Bear said:  this chair is heated!

And the Debbie Bear said: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

And the Momma Bear said: I'm not too sure about this one!

And the Jamie Bear said to the Momma Bear: Hey, wanna try out the ejector seat function?

Finally, after trying all 234 chairs in the store, Mom found the ONE.  The cranberry-colored fabric is the couch color and the pillow comes with the couch.

 Mom also selected a little table and lamp to sit next to her chair.

The table; I did not get a photo of the lamp.

Next, it was on to the Sleep Number bed store.

Mom and the salesman--determining her "sleep number." 

Robin joined Mom for a quick nap.

Dad's bed

Finally, we settled on a twin bed for Mom and a queen-sized bed with a frame which can raise and lower the head and foot of the bed for Dad (I'm having a senior moment and forget what it was called).


On Sunday afternoon, Jamie, Barb, and Mom courageously dragged Dad off to the Lazy Boy store and showed him the couch.

And Papa Bear gave a GROWL, which they took for approval.

And Papa Bear after many grunts of disapproval finally found a chair he liked and pronounced this one JUST RIGHT.  

AND NOW CAN WE GO HOME?  And upon hearing this proclamation, Momma Bear and the two cubs headed back to the den along with Papa Bear who was relieved to be finished with his annual shopping excursion.

The End.
