Great photo, btw!<br /><br />Have a Happy Thanksgiving!<br />BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467769804679511645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146139130389250262.post-32420088279560506682009-11-24T14:11:34.331-05:002009-11-24T14:11:34.331-05:00We actually got a great old teacher's desk alo...We actually got a great old teacher's desk along with our first appartment! The appartment (flat) was let out to student teachers, and the student who was leaving sold us the old desk for five pounds rather than have to take it with him! 20 years on, it is doing a sterling job in our sons' bedroom, but I have grander plans for it...Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146139130389250262.post-77349930340812185482009-11-24T11:29:26.793-05:002009-11-24T11:29:26.793-05:00Stan, I can't beging to tell you how many of t...Stan, I can't beging to tell you how many of those old, heavy, sturdy, beautifully worn desks I have had to pass up in the Goodwill stores. I had my heart set on buying one, but you had to puchase and leave the store with it. They would not hold it even for a few hours for me to drive home (1 1/2 hours away) and get the truck.<br />I now have one that belonged to my Dad. It's small and lightweight and beat up, but it means so much to me.Lana Manishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984967027046436970noreply@blogger.com
