I want to replace it with a smaller, modern, metal yard swing with

She sees Sonny's photo, the battle is over ...

Damnit, Karl... I am so sorry. I just sent Linda this, thinking I was helping you out...

Sonny's design could certainly compete or outshine any of those, but you know... a lady has to have choices!

I rarely tell Kathy about anything you or Leon make as it is bad enough when we leave from a visit and I have the next two months of listening to "is that something you could make?" and "I want one of those, but made out of real wood" when she sees something in one of her magazines.

The first time she saw "la petit atelier" behind your house where you have turned out so much fine custom work, I heard about all the things she wanted built for a year. (No kidding...) My excuses for not wanting to take away time from my business work to make her furniture almost evaporated as she saw me working all week using my time and skills to make a living transferred to exactly to spending my whole weekend using my time and skills for fun.
