New (to us) furniture

Ever since we moved into our remodeled living room last fall I have wished for a leather couch.  Especially since our wood stove is so dusty and I figured leather would clean up better than fabric. 

I have been perusing craig's list for 12 months- often seeing a set I liked but always they were too far away to bother checking them out.  And then, this week, a leather couch and chair shows up on craigs list and the seller was 15 miles from me.  I was an easy sell.....

The pictures don't show very well that they are actually navy blue leather.  I am delighted.

Triumph on the move

October sure flew by. Kurt worked intently to get everything around the KF house buttoned up for winter- alas no pictures. 
Then he spent a week in Denver helping Amy and Tim get their new house move-in ready- also no pictures. 

At the end of the week he drove the TR3 from Denver back to Kettle Falls. Here are the few pictures from that event.....

First the car made the trip to the new house.  Lilly and Mark immediately wanted to drive it... and for some reason Lilly has no clothes on....

(well, she is 2) 

BTW- that is Lisa's and Betty's front yard behind Amy in this picture...'

Mark, on the other hand decided to wear grandpa's sweatshirt-below.

(and this is Amy and Tim's front yard in this picture)

Then Josie had to have a turn in the drivers seat....

 Then it was time to say goodbye to Grandpa. 

 Let's see... do I have everything.... 

 Kurt left Denver to head north on a sunny and warm afternoon.  Here he is driving along and he has the top down and he isn't even wearing gloves.   

 Later you can see in the odometer reflection that he is a little more bundled up-- and you can't really tell that he is in a 40 mph Wyoming side wind. 

 Nice shadow....

 The next day he went with the top up- but it didn't really offer much more warmth.

 This was the disheartening last picture of his trip--- heading into snow clouds.  Turns out he made it over the Rockies (17 degrees and light snow falling) without a hitch.

and now the TR3 is safely parked in the KF garage where the Denverites can visit it

until they have more than a one car garage.
