Rugs

Leslie's story:
We all know Pawpaw as one who wasn't one to hang around after the meal was over. He and Memaw would sit for a little while on the couch as if they were going to stay and visit. However it wouldn't be long until he was walking out the door. One time after Joe and Sharon remodeled the downstairs of there house we were all over there for lunch. Pawpaw commented on how it looked nice, he liked the new wood floors that they put in and he especially enjoyed the rugs. No one thought much of it until after lunch. Memaw and Pawpaw were sitting on the couch as usual and we were all visiting. 10, 15, 20 minutes pass by, maybe more, when we realized Pawpaw was still sitting on the couch. I remember Sharon ribbing him a little about how surprising it was that he was still there and not acting antsy to leave. However I don't remember if someone asked him point blank why he was comfortable enough to stay so long but somehow it came out that, "Well, I just like the rug I guess. It looks nice." Of course we all laughed and assumed he just felt like it made it more homey? Does that mean that if every place felt that homey then he would stay longer? Who knows but it sure was funny!
