A Big Deal For Stauffer
I can not remember when we bought something new for the home. Today was the day!
Dennis has a wonderful west porch where he enjoys everything from Pawn Stars on t.v., his email and face book accounts and keeping track of the traffic as it passes by our home. All this is while he is sitting in his ‘command center’ chair. Son Kevin dubbed it that as it reminded him of Captain Kirk on Star Trek. The chair is totally made out of 2 x 4 lumber that has been varnished. In times past when we went to Indiana to visit one of Dennis’ buddies who had served with him in Korea, this chair was given to Dennis by his friend Rip. It sure was a good thing we had taken the pickup as the chair would never had fit in the trunk of the chair.
I digress. An upgrade of the television in the west porch was sorely needed. Dennis was watching his favorite shows on a 12 inch screen that we had purchased in 1992 with the option of also playing VCRs. That may will have gone on for a long time if it were not for the fact that the on and off button has been pushed so far into the set that the button was now in the black depth of the set.
Nicholas in the Command Center Chair
On day quite a while ago I heard from the porch “Grammie I need you”. Grandson Nicholas also enjoyed Grandpa Dennis’ chair while playing Angry Birds on the computer. How could you not want to have the Disney channel playing on the t.v. while enjoying the computer game. Alas the button was gone and Grammie could not help Nicholas get it back out. Fast forward to today.
Best Buy had just the ticket today and as soon as the new LED flat screen t.v. will arrive to their store for it to be picked up – Grandpa Dennis will be in high cotton. The commander in the ‘command chair’ will have been moved into the 21st century.
