Next up was the table. He knew that he didn't want to use the one in the dining room; it was too big for what he wanted. For a more intimate setting he elected to set up the picnic table by the pit. With that thought in mind, he went around the house looking for a tablecloth to cover it, but everything he did took extra time for him because he didn't know where anything was kept. Eventually he came up with candles, and the other things he wanted to use to make this a special occasion, although the tablecloth ended up being a white bed sheet folded in half. Satisfied that everything was proceeding as planned, he ran in and took a shower, shaved, then dressed in jeans and a nice summer shirt, and to complete this ensemble he slipped into his all-white walking shoes. After another quick inspection in the mirror, he headed back to the kitchen.
