• The great picnic table adventure.

  
  

  So for Mothers Day I wanted a picnic table.   We haven't had one, and we love to eat outside.  So we started calling around. 

  
  

  NOBODY had 'em.   Oh we could get plastic pieces of junk, and medal/glass junk.   But I just wanted a good old fashioned wooden one.

  
  

  So this morning we were gonna do a couple junk-store kinda stops, and the local farmers markets to see if we could find something.

  
  

  Nothing at Farmers Market.   Nothing a couple other places.  

  
  

  So we stopped at  a used furniture store I hadn't been before, and I complimented the ladies for such a nice store.  It really was.  BEAUTIFUL stuff for reasonable prices.   They wanted to know what I was looking for.  I told them.   And we talked for a couple more minutes.  "What kind?"   A lady who was obviously visiting with the lady in charge asked. 

  
  

  "Just a old fashioned picnic table."   "I have one you can have."   I stared at her for a minute.  "Are you serious?"  "Yes."     "How much?"   She thought for a moment and said.  "45$" 

  
  

  Wooo!   "Its in my garage.  Follow me home."   And sooooooo we did.

  
  

  Its a nice table, no benches, but for $45 tis just fine.   And I have my picnic table...for MUCH less then originally suspected.

  
  

  I like adventures like this.
