We had Preacher and his family over for dinner Sunday night. While Mama and I were scrambling around the kitchen cooking things, my dad went out in his scooter to enjoy the weather. He hollered at us; our next door neighbor, Sandy, was apparently getting rid of a few things around the house and was throwing away a table too, which we took to hold the extra food; it looked great with a nice tablecloth, and now it's serving as my new work table.

Tonight I came home after an eventful day and my mom told me that right before dinner she'd noticed out the window that Sandy had some flower pots sitting outside her door and wondered if she was throwing those away too. Just to be sure, she called, and Sandy told her that someone had stolen her table.

The neighbors are all watchful for patio furniture theives.

I've lost my new worktable.
