Please have a seat in my favourite Chair, a beautiful wing chair that we bought in 1986 at Paramount Furniture in Richmond, BC. It cost us $650.00 then, which was half price so you can imagine its value now. However, I just had it reCovered two years ago in this lovely dragonfly pattern that my daughter helped me Choose.
Perhaps you will notice the pretty Cushion with irises on it. If you like, you may turn it over to its plain Cream side, or if you prefer just toss it on the Chesterfield (or sofa) with the other Cushions that I have received from my sister on various occasions.
Relax for a few moments while I make us some Coffee in my new Coffee Maker. I love the red trim because it goes with the other red bits of Colour in my kitchen.
Let's take our Coffee outside to the patio - it's lovely today, warm right now but will be getting much hotter this afternoon. We'll take advantage of my Covered patio and have a Chat while sitting on my patio Chairs.
Are you finished your Coffee? Come along then, and I'll show you a bit more of my Cosy home. As we pass through the family room (where I watch TV) you might notice that my Cacti need a drink. I thought I'd get some of this type of plant since even someone like Moi surely Couldn't kill them! However, it looks as though they might be on their way!
Here are some of the Catalogues that I often browse through. I purchase quite a bit from Sears and every January I pick up the latest Trafalgar catalogue to dream of my future travels. My daughter loves the Ikea catalogue so I always give it to her so she can dream of her future dream home.
Okay, let's go upstairs to see my "office" where I have my Computer and my Comfortable Computer Chair that has lumbar support. I really need to Clean and tidy this room one day! So please exCuse its Condition!
Behind the desk and to the left of the window sits my favourite and most Comfortable Chair! It was my mother's Chair when she was alive and my Dad gave it to me because he thought I'd be comfortable sitting in it with my bad back. It may be old-fashioned but trust me, when my back is aching, I can put my feet up, lay back to relax, and it isn't long before I'm sound asleep.
If the phone rings, I don't even have to get up but just reach over to answer. I have a handy dandy lamp so that I have enough light to read the daily newspaper or my book of the moment as well as do my daily Crossword puzzle.Well, I'm so happy you Came for a visit. I hope you enjoyed our time together and that you will Come again. As you can see, I'm not finished my Crossword yet so I'll get back to that while you go visiting other ABC Wednesday participants Courtesy of Mrs. Nesbitt.

"Louis" likes the Cushion with "My other house is in France!
He is also jealous because you have your 2009 IKEA catalogue and he doesn't.... It hasn't arrived either in the mail or in the local IKEA.
Wow! What a creative C you've given us. Nice, nice, job!
One of the things which we must have in common must be a recent visit to IKEA, though probably not the same outlet...
