One day before Jim and I took over the bar, we went looking for prices for covering the pool table. The one in the bar was 15 years old and stained and 'old' as old. When we saw the blue one in the store, we loved the color. It's actually purple, but they call it "CouerD'Alene Blue". Who knew they had colors other than blue and the ugly mustard color I've seen before? Heck, they have red even! So, today, Jim and Dennis spent hours recovering our table. It was such a process to watch, I had no idea that it was so labor intensive. When they took the slate off, we had a bet on how many chalks would be inside the table. No one was even CLOSE!!! 21 of them!!!! We won't have to buy chalk for months! I took pics to show the whole process, but am only posting 2 here, before and after. The rest will be facebooked later. It's so pretty now! I can't wait for people to come in tomorrow and see it. And guess who got to break the first rack of balls??? You got it! ME!!!!
Everyone that knows me, knows when I turned "50", I considered myself half over. I might not live to be 100. But since then Maui TWICE, TN TWICE', camped, did dirt work, party boated, became a Geo-cacher. No muggle here. Was a great summer and for Christmas my husband bought me a BAR! So, after rethinking, I have decided that I am NOT half over at all! I hope that as you read my blog, you'll see that even though I wouldn't trade my first half....my second half is gonna ROCK!
