Well, like many other people in the US this week, we received our stimulus check. And, in the name of helping to give our struggling economy a boost, we spent it! We've been talking about what we were going to buy when the money came, but really only knew we wanted a new lawn mower. Well, last night we went to Sears and came home with a new lawn mower! And a weed eater! And a new BBQ! After that, we thought "why stop there?!" so we went to look at bikes (which I've been wanting for a long time). We found a few that we liked but the reality of spending all of the money in one day got the better of us and we decided to 'sleep on it.' So today after the Arthritis Walk we went to Costco and bought the jogging stroller/bike trailer that we'd spyed a few weeks ago. And ya know, what good is a bike trailer without bikes?! So, we went to GI Joe's and found 2 bikes that we both really liked and bought those too! I have to say that I like this idea that we get a check in the mail and are told to spend it for the betterment of the country. To help out the good ol' US of A. We're as patriotic as they come. Spend this money for my country?? If you say so! Typically I would be thinking "man, that's like 20 tanks of gas" or "a good chunk to stick in the savings." Not this time...we spent without an iota of guilt!
Thanks George W! We did our part Ü
Oh, and P.S. - I also got a beautiful Ivy Geranium hanging basket and some other annuals for Mother's Day...they were from Taylor, but she let me pick them out Ü Isn't she sweet?!
