Hi Ladies,

I guess we are having Spring weather, it was near 70 yesterday, cooler and cloudy today, possible showers later tonight, sunny tomorrow, rain over the weekend wouldn't ya just know it!!!! Doug wants to go on a long ride so badddddddddddddddddddddd, lol

I am going to be tearing up the front yard. This will be my new flower and veggie area. The dogs have claimed the back yard but at least I got the hothouse up out there, lol. So I told Doug I want to put a mail box out by the street so I can do a mailbox garden around it, then work back towards the house planting. I am getting a bunch of strawberry plants from a friends nursery, picking up some old tires and going to do a raise bed for those. But I just wanted to tell you about the great deal I got on this mail box. It was on sale from $74.49 marked down to $18.74, cool!! So I checked it out, has a small dent on top but that's ok, it is a security kind has a lock as you can see in picture but I don't think it will work to good for big packages so I may remove the locking part. so I get up to register to pay, went to self check out, was waiting in line and there was one not opened, so gal opened it walked back and hand scanned my items, told me go ahead and pay. Went to get debit card...................Doug had it ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Well at first I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to have to leave and go get my card. Luckily I had my check book, so was able to use check as a debit. One reason why I didn't want to leave and loose that mailbox was because when the gal scanned it, it came up priced at..................$.01, lol yup got it for one penny. man I could not get out of there fast enough, lol.
