We just bought some new living room furniture...I know how Edith feels. They do remind me of the original Archie and Edith. Love your devotion to this pair - I have learned a lot over the last year and have enjoyed watching you get better and better at documenting their lives. #8976857Melissa Olsen October 17, 2010
