Craftsman

The table we had bought for our living area has two drop leaves. For storage, the top rotates and the leaves fold down. Unfortunately the top came loose, probably because we were laying it on its side on the couch for travel. We tried gluing it, but with no long term success. Today we found a furniture making and repair shop and stopped to ask about getting our table repaired. The shop was small, but one of the two woodworkers did a very craftsmanlike job of reattaching our table top. "That won't come loose," he assured us--and he said there was no charge for the job. We tipped him happily.

The rest of the day was devoted to paperwork....
