We had a tee time this morning for 9:30 with Lorraine and Raymond from Thunder Bay...unfortunately it was raining this morning and the clouds were pretty dark looking. Seeing as it hardly ever rains we decided it would be best to wait for another day.
Katie and I have been looking for an area rug to put in front of our good shape but kind of ugly looking blue tartan sleeper sofa. We have tried several but anything with a pattern does not look good, so they have all gone back. We picked up a couple this morning that are just plain, but only we can't get a patterned one. We also wanted to find a coffee table but you have to take coffee and end tables as a set.
We went to Ashley's Furniture and found a coffee table set we liked and were prepared to take it. Then they told us the delivery fee would be $59. We said we wanted to pick them up ourselves. They said we couldn't. We said then there is no deal. They said...I'll talk to the Manager. We said good. They came back and said delivery will be $29. We said...what part of we want to pick them up ourselves don't you understand? They said that's the way it is. We said.......Goodbye!
We had to run some other errands and checked a couple of other furniture stores but no luck. Then as we were driving we saw a Lack's furniture, not the one near us but another one, and that is where we bought our recliners last year. Now this is more like it...we had several sets to choose from. I sat on a chesterfield in front of the set we liked. It said $699 on it. The sales lady said it is reduced and the price is $399....I said Katie!!! maybe we should just get rid of the Tartan devil couch...it is causing us nothing but trouble and running around all over the place. To make a long story short we picked another for $450 that we liked better, and ended up scratching one of their scratch and save tickets...all in all we saved 26%....so the coffee table set and sofa will be delivered Wednesday....and we will be able to buy an area rug we really like...and no more running around.
We went to Rudy's BarBeQue and had a smoked turkey sandwich and potato salad...so good!
Then we took the two plain area rugs back that we were going to try out...bye bye good riddance.
Off to the driving range...Katie is hitting the ball so well! I am having some problems which I normally don't have...but....Katie knows my swing and habits so much, she is able to correct any mistakes I am making to get me back on track. One thing I have been doing well is hitting with my driver. Last few years I have had a tendency to pull too many drives left...some badly. It is a very hard thing to correct, but I have been working on it and finally I seem to have that cured. Golf is golf though and it can leave again in a minute.
Got a couple of Cactus cuttings from our friend Arlene which we will try and nurse along before we leave.
When we got home, there was a card stuck in the door from the guys who are going to level the mobile...too bad we missed them...will have to phone them.
Also got my Netalk phone all fixed up...it would dial when connected to the modem but not the router. Upgraded the firmware on the router...and it now works the way it is supposed to....free calls to Canada.
Watched some taped American Idol tonight, Most of the guys were awesome...not finished the girls yet, but so far not as good as the guys.
more later...
