April 10, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. Shopping.

We had such fun shopping today.  The three of us make good shoppers,  each heading out in all directions to check out the deck furniture, then eventually getting together to share ideas.  Sure enough, we were successful.  The top deck is now furnished.

Target had the fewest options and many objects were not priced.  Once I tracked down a man to tell me a price for chairs.  He brought his little machine over, scanned the object, told me the price and walked away.  Amazingly bad service.  We bought 2 seat cushions for the two chairs we do own and left.

Next up was Home Depot, just down the street.     The outdoor furniture was at the front of the store in the corner.   Everything was priced and set out in groupings.   And the prices were right.   After looking at all they had for sale, we three sat at a table and decided what to buy.  A young man came by to help. Without moving, we ordered the set of 7, made up of a table, 4 chairs and 2 swivel chairs.   All we had to do was pay the cashier on the way out.  They will assemble the table and chairs and deliver them to us on Wednesday.

The last stop was the expensive store Ken and I visited last week.  We needed at least two comfortable chairs on our top deck, where Ken and I are likely to sit.  Finally, we selected two chairs,  also a heavy two seat set for the dock, whenever it gets done.  They will be delivered on Tuesday afternoon.

Tomorrow, we three will visit the consignment shops.  So far our new and larger deck has no furniture at all.   We are a splendid group of shoppers so I feel sure we will soon fill in our empty spaces on our back decks.
