- Resin Adirondack chairs
Today was a furlough day for us lazy, overpaid public employees. We spent it stimulating the economy. First, we went over to a cool vintage furniture and reupholstery place on the east side, and made plans to get the wood love seat reupholstered, and the cushions from the lightning bolt couch upstairs re-stuffed. About $1,000 – $1,200, though we didn’t actually spend any of it today.
Then we went to the restaurant supply place to get me a new half-cup scoop, #8. The scoop was only $11, but of course, once there, we got some other stuff – I got a stainless slotted spoon, and Mark got a couple of half sheet pans. Spent $30.03 altogether.
We came home and ate a little breakfast – I had a bagel with melted cheddar and this salsa I made yesterday from a Martha recipe – nicely spicey, a little too garlicy, a little too sweet. On our way back from the eastside, Mark picked up a couple of cupcakes to go from Daisy Cafe.
Thus fortified, we went out again, to Home Depot, to get a new mailbox for East Wash, $17.49. They had resin Adirondack chairs, so we got one of each of the primary colors – the yellow one didn’t fit into the picture above – plus a little tan resin table/drink stand. We already had the green one. Chairs, 3 at $16.96, table $8.96 – with tax and the mailbox, the bill at Home Depot was $81.58.
Proceeded on to Bed, Bath & Beyond, for a new shower curtain and curved rod, like we just put in the upstairs bathroom, for the downstairs bathroom. Sheets & a pillow for Al to take to camp. Plastic tray – can never have too many plastic trays – and a blue plastic drinks bucket, for $4.99, were the impulse buys there. $112.82 at Bed, Bath & Beyond – and used up all of our coupons. Whew.
