Or maybe two days. I was looking over our several thousand dollar order at Menard's when I noticed the refrigerator had not been paid for. Hmmm I found that perplexing so I called them and found out another trip up to Fort Dodge would be necessary to get some loose ends tied up. It will not delay delivery but we needed to get the ball rolling a bit better. It was a worthwhile trip getting some questions answered etc.
Now with our Discover card we get a 5% discount from home improvement stores up to $1500 for the months of April, May and June and we far exceeded that with the Menards order. We still needed to buy laundry appliances so I went online to look and after much research and reading many reviews decided on a LG washer and dryer. We have a Lowes card so we get 5% discount with it AND they had a lower price on the washer than Menards did so after getting things wrapped up at Menards we drove to Ames and the Lowes store. Last day for the sale!! We did not know that but we seem to be very lucky that way...and we are grateful!
We stopped in Boone and the new Wal Mart store and visited with Jason and later Laura for a bit before coming home.
With all this buying and getting ready for things to get done our mental wheels have been very active. I woke up about 4:00 AM and started thinking. Not very conducive to sleep. And then I noticed Butch was awake too. I said, "You know what we could do?" Butch said,"What?" I said, "Get up and get a walk in before the rain starts." He said, " Do you think I would have time to clean the gutters out before it starts raining?" I said, "I'll check the radar." And yes the rain was a ways off so at 5:30 AM we are out cleaning gutters and then we were able to get a walk done too. It wasn't long after getting home that the rain did start and is now raining with some intensity.
So at this hour I am in the motorhome and Butch is in the house and we are both busy. Most likely we will nap later
