Shop at Sears

I read the other day that Sears is doing nice stuff for the troops so I decided I'd shop there more often. I've been wanting to get new beds and an electric lawn mower so I stopped in to see what they had. They were having a half price sale on their mattress sets. I didn't want the box springs so they were even cheaper. I bought two queen mattresses. One of them was the floor model. Got a great deal on that one.

Then I went to the gardening department. They had a discontinued, floor model, electric mower. Saved about a hundred bucks there. Boy, today was the day to go to Sears.

I went by Ramona and picked up Paige. When we got home I saw Dad out by the trees that are between our houses. He looked like he was trying to yank a branch down. When I went into the house Lindsay said, "Grandpa wants to talk to you." I went back out just as he was walking back to his house. He was holding his pant legs up and he had leaves and crap all over his back. I caught up with him. He turned and said, "I fell down. I rolled down the hill. I'm all bloody." Both of his ankles were bleeding. I followed him back to his house and had him sit down in the kitchen. I went and got a damp towel and cleaned up his ankles. One of them had a bad scrape, the other one was slightly scraped. He had bled into his new SAS shoes. He wasn't wearing socks.

Of course his attitude towards me was completely different. Everything was just peachy. I gave him his evening pills while I was there. After that I went out to talk to Drew. He was out in the field helping some friends get some trees. While we were talking the guy who's going to do the big clean up came by. They're starting that tomorrow. I was glad he showed up because I wanted to ask him about where we should have the next dumpster placed.

Debbie and Bob will be here soon. I'm really glad they made it out here. I think it will help make Dad's move easier to have us all here together. And I'm glad they'll get to see the farm one last time.

Time to get out of these clothes and relax. I bought new jammies at Sears today!

Sears is very republican. Nonetheless, I buy all major appliances there. They have every possible thing, and they're used to servicing warranties.
