On occasion I have gone over to East Lansing to visit the MSU Surplus Store. At times you can find some interesting and useful items at a decent price. Lately though I haven't had much luck and the prices are higher. I did buy a nice classroom type chair over there this Winter. It has wheels and is quite solid. The seat flips up so if you had several of these they could be stacked for storage. I didn't want to leave the store empty-handed so I bought it for $15.
Last night Brooke was working on her computer and the new chair was nearby. I noticed, from the side bedroom, Sophie cleaning and preening herself close to her most beloved person. Apparently Sophie's weight had moved too far back on the chair and the seat flipped up to the vertical position. This happened in about a tenth of a second. There wasn't even time for a scream. I heard a commotion and think I saw Sophie's white paws extended up as she came crashing down to the wood floor below. Sophie scrambled away trying to grasp what had happened to her. She is such a careful cat. Such indignity. Such embarrassment. Life does that to you, Sophie.
I guess we'll have to keep that seat in the up position when not in use. That will be one up and two down (two bathrooms).

Poor Sophie. I am sure she is resilient. :) Love the blog - always something great to read.
