I'm so pissed at Flickr that I am really trying to give Picasa a chance. It does have some stuff I like much better (website speed being one) but the jury is still out.
I do, however, love my new table. I need to find new salt and pepper thingies. Not as easy as it sounds. I use kosher salt instead of table salt and I need bigger holes. I love the one handed pepper grinder but I hate the look and it keeps falling off. So the hunt is on. And I need pretty napkins. There are several shops down at Pike Place Market that will likely have exactly what I need.
It is a perfect dining table for me. I haven't had a stationary place to eat in this house since I moved in 15 years ago. This is luxury. Plus, I love the way it looks.
