It Didn't Look That Big. . . .!!

Years ago when Mr. Mouse and I were first married, we would go to the Christmas tree farm and choose our tree.  He always allowed me to choose the tree, and invariably when we got it home, it was huge.  My comment was always, "It didn't look that big in the field."

A few years ago, Mr. Mouse made me a table so that I could sew in the living room while watching the kids.  It wasn't pretty, but it was exactly what I needed.  It was the right height, really sturdy, and had casters so that it would move easily.  But as time passed, it became harder to move.  The amount of stuff I stored on it might have had a great deal to do with it, but also the casters just weren't rolling very easily.  So, I decided it was time to order new casters, more heavy duty casters.  Needless to say, I'm not a very good judge of size.  I found the set that I liked and ordered them.  They arrived yesterday, and Mr. Mouse opened the box and prepared to put them on the table.  Holy Shnikes!!! Those casters were huge.  Mr. Mouse wanted to know if I couldn't find a larger set.  I replied, "They didn't look that big online!"  And they didn't!


With the addition of these enormous casters, my table now is much higher that it was before.  I may need to use a booster seat to comfortably reach my sewing machine now, But at least that table will roll!
