Lamp
I lost an old friend today, my floor lamp. It just got to the point that it wasn't as useful as it had been. The big 3-way switch that brought up to 300 watts stopped working months ago. And now, the three small lights below it are shorting out. They were so handy. If I wanted a romantic mood, I could put three candle lights in and use 1, 2, or 3 of them at a time. If I wanted mood lights, I'd put a couple of small red lights and a blue in it. That made for some great color and with all red, could make for a creepy atmosphere at Halloween. But three small white lights made for good T.V. viewing, using only one of them. Why so much for a floor lamp? Well, I've had it for about 30 years. It's traveled to 6 apartments, my mom's house, and now this house. It's like a constant in my travels. It was old when I got it, another hand me down from whom, I can't remember. It was replaced today with a smaller, more modern lamp. It's not as versatile and will take some getting used to. I will miss that old lamp. Do they bury lamps?
