| In need of some tender loving care! |
When we finished our pergola last fall, I wanted to throw away our old, faded, and battered glider. The joints were coming apart, and I was afraid to let anyone sit on it. Since we've now hung our new porch swing under the pergola, I have suddenly become a bit sentimental towards that old beat up glider. It has provided us with many hours of relaxation.

| Looking good! |
So, Bill decided to get out his glue and clamps, and did some major repair work on the old thing. Then he did some sanding. I was rather surprised, it started looking pretty good. We got out the linseed oil, and I put a good coat of it on the dry, parched wood. Bill oiled all the metal working parts. It's looking great! I began looking for a new home for it, and I found one!

| Making certain it's perfectly centered! |
Here it is, the tired, old, dry and faded glider that we just couldn't throw away, renewed! And, I love the spot we found in the corner of the yard, overlooking the garden, and facing toward the pergola, and the imaginary deck that I hope will soon appear! A very peaceful spot, very fitting for a retiring glider!

| A pretty view! |

| From both directions! |
The moral of this story, think again before discarding something old. There may be a lot more life in that old thing!
Carpe Diem! Lil and Bill
