Where my husband works they're redoing the parking lot one section at a time. And one of the things that they are taking out is the old trees and bushes.
.
I drove into the parking lot to pick up my husband after work and we were going to go to Fresno to do a couple of things. But my heart almost froze in my chest when I heard . . . .
.
K-thunk! SSSSSSSSSSSSS!
.
I said, "Oh-no, I know what that sounds is."
.
Sure enough we had a tire going down. My husband took a look at the tire, and it had a piece of wood as big as my thumb sticking out of it.
.
All thoughts of a nice shopping trip went out the window as we prayed on the way to the tire shop that we'd make it without flatting the rim. We only stopped once and that was at a gas station to air up the tire before we continued on our way.
.
The tire was completely flat by the time we got to Shelter tire, but they were open and took us right away. Less than an hour later we had two new tires, and we were able to go on to Fresno.
.
We had to pick up a battery that my husband had ordered for his PDA, and we also bought a mattress for my long legged daughter who has out grown her twin sized bed.
.
I slept on a twin until I got married, but hey I'm only 5' 3 ½", and my sixteen year old daughter is 5' 6 ½" a whole three inches taller than me.
.
Her feet hang off the end of the mattress.
.
We found a reasonable deal on a good comfortable mattress, and they will be delivering it on Sunday.
.
My husband was actually surprised that I did the deal myself.
.
When we went in and we were told we would be paying for the delivery and the mattress frame for the mattress.
.
I said, "We'll be checking out his neighbor American Mattress."
.
And presto we ended up with free delivery and a free bed frame.
.
Better and better I thought, and I said, "We'll take it." And wrote the check.
