Busy Shopping Day

We decided to go look for new furniture today. We went to the best furniture store that I have ever been called Van Gorders. They have two locations. We went to the one by Lake Wallenpaupack. It had many floor models to give you an idea of what you had. We had to decide what type of living room set we wanted. We decided the best route for us to go would be a sectional. The next step was picking out what kind. The salesman started asking us questions about our lifestyle and it didn't take long to determine with the dogs, cats, and kid on the way, a sturdy microfiber was in order. Well, the brand we chose had tear sheets that you could take with measurements. Also, we picked the sectionals that you build yourself meaning we could choose what we wanted in the sectional. Leo and I came home to measure and decided on what size would work and then we ran back to the store to place our order. We decided to have a sectional that is a couch with a recliner on each end. We also got a new coffee table that matches the pieces of furniture that we already have. I also got complimented on my choice of color combination. We picked a rust color for the sectional and I picked fabric that went well with it. I got told that I have a good eye for the match. Leo thinks they tell that to everyone. The pillows that come with it are free. That was a plus. Even better is that the turn around time for the company is rather quick, and we should have delivery in three weeks. We also took a walk on the path by the lake while we were in that area. We also made a run to Home Depot, so that Leo could buy bug spray for the yard. He also had to buy hornet spray as we have a large nest we noticed today that needs to be dealt with. While there, we started looking around and bought some bird feed and a hummingbird feeder since we have a few of those that hang around. We are going to put up my feeder. Leo cleared some brush which will eventually be turned in to a garden path and horseshoe pits. We then bought what we needed to make the tree protectors from the deer and we added two burning bushes to plant. We may go shopping for some other trees this week since Leo is on vacation.
