Adieu!


Today I parted with an old friend. After 36 years with the family, the old orange couch is no longer with us. Today, a lovely, young, student couple came to pick-up the much loved orange couch, to give it a new home. The couch, which was purchased in 1972 by my mother when she moved to her first apartment in Ottawa (just a few short blocks from where I now live) has had several homes, in Ottawa, Nepean and even a 2 year stay in a Westmount apartment. Re-apolstered only once, sometime in the early 1980s when orange was all the rage, the couch was of impecable quality.
Goodbye couch!

<:O No more orange couch! Next you are going to tell us that your mom changed the silver and black wallpaper on the stuff in your basement!

Is there a new couch to fill the void in your heart/living room?
