When to pray and when to cross your fingers.

Today, at wee hours in the morning (I was watching a Castle rerun), I recieved a phone call from the man who took my dining room chairs to upholster them. He said that he had them ready and could he come at 10 AM to bring them to me.
I asked all the stupid questions one can ask. Did he do a good job? Are they fine? I know that I´ll know when he comes here with the chairs. He´ll come at 11 because Leticia and I will be having breakfast at 10.
After I hung up I thought that you can pray or send good vibes when you want something good to happen to people. But with a chair, you just have to cross your fingers
My chairs could have lasted a lot more if my legs were not in such a bad shape. the fabric was as good as new. But the coils were not as good and I could feel the front wooden frame of the chairs. I hope that changes now. It costed me a lot more to have all the inside changed.
The man will also bring some wooden legs to put in my living room sofas. They are too low and my knees don´t help much when it is time to get up.
I´m keeping my fingers crossed until they hurt. Please do the same, friends!

He brought the chairs and they were fine. The legs of the sofas were not finished so he´ll bring them next week.

@Happy2BeMe The best is that the wood is not in my legs.

They won´t come with the sofa legs until next week. It seems that they use the truck or van only when they wish. Anyway, I have the chairs

@lovinangelsinstead21 Year ago I wrote with my grandsons with lots of emoticons. I don´t remember if it was on FB. Now they don´t have them anymore.

@marguicha
Seems like he has done a good job with those.
See if he brings you the Sofa legs so you can use it all again in comfort.
I wish they had an emoticon for "fingers crossed" and "I wish".

@prinzcy He did. Although the new fabric is not as beautiful as the old one, I will have to paint the walls sometime and I´ll add colour then.

He only brought the dining room chairs and I liked the work. I´ll have the rest next week. It was a good idea to place legs in the sofas instead of changing the whole tapestry.

@LadyDuck Most of my friends prefer higher sofas at this time of their lives. The problem starts when we try to get up.

@marguicha I agree, I have seen that Ikea sells legs for the sofas for people who need higher sitting.

They are nice, but the old fabric was more beautiful. It´s a pity it could not be saved.
