Musical Beds.
Thats what we have been playing….for what seems like…..
(how old is my oldest?)
…yeah, that’s right – 15 years.
I cannot think of a solid month,
maybe even week…. in 15 years
when every member of this household
has slept in their own bed.
….all night.
Well, unless you count the dogs…in their crates.
hmmm…crates?
Either – someone has a bad dream, or someone is out of town,
or someone has a fever or a back ache or a broken heart
or a bad attitude.
Like Rosanne Rosanna-Danna Said;
“It’s always somethin!”

I discovered …that Tate’s headboard has two slots
…one for a full sized mattress …and one for a queen size bed.
Then just last week,
Then just last week,
I was at the Greenwood Country store
and I saw an adorable Vintage full sized bed for $180.

“It would look incredible in Phoebe’s room”, I thought,
but unfortunately it was full size…. wait…
