This weekend christie and I went looking for a new LR suite. We have a great small but upper end furniture store in town. They do not have on hand the suite we want to purchase, but as it turns out the owner has it in her house.
At her insistence, she puts a "gone to lunch" sign in the door, we pile into her car and off we go to her house.
We purchased the set and an awesome distressed leather recliner at cost ( this is even sans shipping.. I have no idea how she makes a profit) and she came by our house later to see it. The house, that is. We had previously purchased a great loveseat for our upstairs den.
During our adventure with her we learned that her daughters Girl Scout troop does monthly backpacks of single serving foods for local kids. We stopped by the grocers and picked up 48 ct of about eight different items to donate. I will be trying to see about volunteering to help them out.

This is a small part of what I love about this backwards, hillbilly, lovely little town.
