Yesterday we went to the most interesting store, the Warehouse Furniture store over off Hwy 111 in Cathedral city, on Bankside Drive. Their ad said We specialize in small scale furniture for park models, mobile homes and condos. And do they ever.
We bought 2 wallsaver recliners, and a full size sofa, all for $1200 total, and they deliver and cart away our old stuff, so that is so great. They will deliver on Friday. We got a sofa with a plain beige seat and arms, and a print on the back cushions, which aren't loose, but attached. And 2 sage recliners, so we are very excited awaiting their delivery.
We also bought a computer stand, that is a bit tall as it's really for a desktop, but Lary will modify it to be more suitable to our laptop. He already put that together, and we're using it now, but our hands are too high up currently.
Also we got a small electric heater, not needed now but likely in the future, and some other stuff. And we took quite a bit of the old double bed bedding and other extra ornaments to the local charity shops. They seem happy to get them.
Tuesday we had soup lunch here at the park, there were 3 kinds available, and it is served with some different breads, and costs $3.50 each. A fundraiser for our park, on alternate Tuesdays they make burgers at lunch time, so something new for us to enjoy. We take our bowls etc, and we sat with neighbours around us here, so that was super.
Monday Di had found a new friend Evelyn from Cardston, AB so we went together over to the bathing suit sale that Glossy put on. All the suits were $29.95, hey this is a first, I didn't buy anything, we enjoyed the show though. As the streets have been improved up there, her business has really suffered, and now the store has a new look and people don't think it's the same store, so more challenges for her. She is incredible as she goes around to many parks and the campers do the modeling for her. She is Delinda.
This morning Di went over and did water aerobics first with a leader, and then later with a tape and another lady from Ladysmith. Very enjoyable. Lary is walking his hour before breakfast, and then he headed off to carving at Catalina Spa with Vern.
Today he started the new project a Northern Pygmy Owl.
Tomorrow we have our first flute lesson with Annie, and Saturday we hope to go to another flute circle gathering a bit of a distance away, in Modjeska, CA.
