The Sofa Bed is gone....Bye Bye!

After all the time we spent running around, buying and returning area rugs, we decided to get rid of the Blue tartan sofa bed. Yesterday morning we took a picture and I posted an ad on Craig's List for the McAllen and surrounding areas. Within an hour we had a phone call from people who said they would have look but would have to borrow a truck. They phoned again about an hour later to say they were on the way from Harlingen. We met them at the gate and led them to our place.

They are full time residents of the valley having been here for 15 years. The man was a fireman for a long time. They decided they would take it, so between the two of us we got it outside to the truck. As the truck drove down the road, Katie and I waved goodbye with NO tears of sorrow. Now we have two outside plastic chairs in our living room for guests until we get the new sofa.

Katie and I went to Cracker barrel for Lupper...that's our word for combination of lunch and supper...mmmm good home cooked type meal.

Then we went to "Big Lots". It was 20% off day and we had a coupon from a previous purchase. We found a 7 piece King Comforter Set which had been $70 but was marked down to $39...then we got the 20% off so it cost $31, what a deal! Bought a few other odds and ends.

Then we went to HEB grocery store, bought what we needed. As many of you know Katie and I did a Vegan experiment last year which lasted 4 months. Since that time we rarely eat Red meat in particular. We decided though we would like to have one barbeque with a good steak. We bought two T bones...how much?....$2.95 for both. Unbelievable! Only hope is that they are tender.

After we got home Terry and Arlene came over and we had a nice chat. Then Nancy and Neta dropped by, friends from last year.

Then it was some TV watching and off to bed.

We took some pictures of the new floor going in, so here they are....
