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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Big mistake: Ron offered to help and because it’s impossible for me to do this on my own, I accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I helped a very disabled lady load plants into her car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve been working on laundry. Ron hung sheets outside, which I think was crazy, but good for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We went to Shaw’s for bargain bagels. We saved so much on the chairs, it was like getting the bagels for free…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
