Possession #15 - Small table

This nice little table was built by my Uncle who liked futzing around in the workshop. It's great for meals in the living room and games of chess with my son (except that now he can beat me!). It does make me wonder why we have collapsible furniture. Probably, I suppose, so that when we're not using it, we can fold it up and put it out of the way to make room for other stuff (like large dogs who like to lie in the middle of the rug). According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average home size in the United States was 983 square feet in the 1950's, 1,400 square feet in the 1970's and 2,700 square feet in 2009. What are we doing with all that extra space!... oh yes... stuff!
