We don't even HAVE a kitchen table right now. And if we did, there'd be no place to put it, as our kitchen is a pit. It's more like a hallway to the back door. There is what we used to call a dining room, around the corner, but the refrigerator and the shelves we use as a pantry, some cabinets that have the pots, pans, dishes, and some food, and her sewing area use up all of that space and then some. I keep getting these letters telling me some idiot wants to pay cash for my house. One of these days I may just call one of them and see what they're offering. There are only three of us eating here, these days, so it's not as bad as when the girls were here, but this place is too small for us and our junk. I'm trying to trim some of my junk, so I can fit it in the space I have.

SWMBO tolerates my hobbies because I also use them to fix thing she needs fixed. Also, I equate her kitchen (cooking is her major hobby) as her workshop, and try not to stint her on the things she needs for it. The first Damascus bladed knives in the house were for her kitchen, for example. She has a new range that's being delivered Friday, and as soon as I can figure out exactly what we need, she's getting a new counter top mounted about 6"-8" lower than the current one.

A wise aunt once remarked to me, "One should choose hobbies that bring others enjoyment."? I'm not sure where that leaves us.
