THE TABLE

This is THE TABLE. It started out as a coffee table to the brown frieze couch and matching chair. It was the center of attention at every birthday party. (This birthday was Brad's first). Every baby learned to stand and walk around this table. Every baby would try to teethe on this table until Mom saw and yelled, "NO!" This table made eight moves with the Farnsworth family until it ended up in the plant room in Provo on Mojave Lane.
In 1980, the legs became wobbly because the cross bars had long since been broken and lost. Mom couldn't bear to get rid of THE TABLE so Charlie did his magic and stabalized the legs.
When it became apparent that things would be cleaned out of the Mojave home, I snatched THE TABLE.

A little paint and a couple of lego foundations glued to the top, THE TABLE will stand as a monument to Mom's love of children. May THE TABLE see many more years of children and smiles.
