Jordans

Slowly, we are filling in the bits and pieces that will make the townhouse comfortable; pans, rugs, end tables…the list seems endless.  So early this month, we followed a tv ad for discount furniture to Reading – where Jordan’s advertises not only a huge warehouse, but a discount center as well.  Discount?  You know how cheap I am – so it was on!!  Now that was an experience!!

What looked like a mall, was the store itself – complete with Verizon, Boze, Jelly Belly and Fuddruckers – all inside!  Don and I went in looking for a couple of bedside tables and an entertainment center – and spent the better part of the afternoon.

While Don bought goodies at the ice cream shop, I picked out a table close to the dancing water – yep – like Bellagio. 

Seven big fountains and innumerable auxiliary nozzles and squirts sway and splash while Frank Sinatra croons in the background.  It is soooo pretty!  The show plays every ten minutes or so, whenever the trapeze school takes a break.

You heard me.

Students synchronize with a catcher and then swing out to connect sixty or seventy feet above the floor.  Once the catch is made, the victorious student lets go, lays back in space and free-falls into an airy, blue marshmallow-y thing.  For recreational participants, there are two hour lessons but for the serious folks, like those of you who have varsity letters in trapeze, there are walk-on performances of – well, whatever you can pull off. 

We didn’t buy any nightstands, but we did by Jellybellies.  And we are planning a trip in the very near future to one of their other convenient locations…I’m told the entertainment will be entirely different!!
