Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

My mother, who is clever in ways I will never be, made a new slipcover for the cushion on our bench. She had some extra material left, and got the idea to make a little pad to put on top of it. She knew that our cat Lilly liked this spot, and figured that when company came by, we could roll up the pad to reveal a hair-free cushion. Smart!
