Hi Carol,

Sounds interesting.  We've got a wooden glider on our porch, a pass
along from a friend.  I need to get a seat cover made for it at some
point--if I ever catch up with everything else.

Do it right so it'll be useful as well as pretty.  For her first
birthday, Steve's dad made Rachel a small wooden step stool.  It's now
in her house but we had it for several years after she got married
(forgot to include it with her HHG).  It was just the right height for
me to use to get stuff out of  some closets.  Now I use the bigger
(metal) step stool; it's not as pretty. (G)

 CS> Yeah, this one isnt like that but I know what you mean.

Makes getting out of it so much easier when you're not so low slung.

 CS> Like Cash-pup (grin).

I suspect so.  Steve's sister was telling me that they learned the hard
way not to leave the door to the cabinet with his treats even a bit
ajar.  He'd nose his way in and clean them right up if he had the
chance.

 CS> Similar idea but the seat board is nailed down to the base and the

And everybody will think it was that way all along. (G)

 CS> Enjoy!  I'm catching up messages this weekend.

I'm catching up now; we've been home since Friday evening.  Had other
things to catch up on first--making bread, tea, getting groceries, etc,
etc. (G)
