I was so impressed with Peter’s new little outdoor niche that I decided it would be nice to have the pop-up in place for the rest of the Summer and Fall.
Big mistake: Ron offered to help and because it’s impossible for me to do this on my own, I accepted.
He complained the entire time that everything I’d done was wrong, from selecting the site (too many trees) to putting on the canopy at the wrong time.
Today, there was another argument about buying outdoor chairs. Ron yelled that we can’t afford it. I asked him how he would know that, since I’m the keeper of the household expenses.
I found two folding camp chairs on sale at Aubuchon. These are ideal: they are lightweight so we can bring them to concerts and the beach, and they take very little storage. With a 20% off coupon, they were half price: $15.06 for both, which we can easily afford.
I ordered the chairs online and picked them up at the Falmouth store. Unfortunately, one of the chairs had a tear, but the South Sandwich store manager cheerfully allowed us to exchange it. We’ll be back.
I helped a very disabled lady load plants into her car.
We’ve been working on laundry. Ron hung sheets outside, which I think was crazy, but good for him.
We went to Shaw’s for bargain bagels. We saved so much on the chairs, it was like getting the bagels for free…..
I made green salad, potato salad, egg salad and baked an eggplant loaf on the grill.
