Only At Grandma's

The extended Bleger family is, well, interesting. There are many instances where we have to say, "Only our family".

Because, seriously, how many people do you know that buy a pool table at an auction? Not too many? Sure, but that's not all. How many people do you know that then take that pool table and store it in their hangar?

Yes, I said hangar. My in-laws owned a hangar. No, they did not have a plane. They rented it to a company for a while, but then used it as storage for all their random stuff.

They don't have stuff like normal people. They have 6 foot paintings and antique armoires and marble statues. And a pool table.

When they sold the hangar, they then had to find a place to store all the stuff. My mom-in-law threatened to have a huge yard sale. Papa would hear nothing of it. He somehow found a spot for EVERY piece that was in that hangar, including the pool table.

This is one time where owning your own forklift is handy.

Because my in-laws live above their bakery.

And it's kind of difficult to carry a pool table up the stairs.

So, now there's a pool table in the middle of my in-law's living room. And it is the favorite of the grandkids.

Obviously, we do not allow them to use the cues. Giving them very hard billiard balls is terrifying enough for me.

But they thoroughly enjoy "playing" pool and Grandma & Pepe's. I am sure that this is the only pool hall in existence where sitting on the table is encouraged.

Although sometimes it is sad when you have to share the game with your sisters.
