O.K. guys this is the scoop......Friday AM electrician here early and no electric cause for some reason he had to turn off the power to put in a new breaker box.....go figure.... Blond thought no problem computers will run off batteries.....but Blond forgot that in order to have internet.....that little box thingy has to be plugged into......you guessed it electricity....so I could not play with you guys yesterday....
But I went around 10AM to my daughter's while leaving tourist in charge of electrician and shed repair people and daughter and I headed down to Ellenton to the outlet mall there and proceeded to empty the bank account.... We walked into a Coach store and the girl handed us 50% off coupons and we thought well this could be a good thing until I started looking at price tags and thought the world had gone stark raving mad.... Blond does not buy $800.00 purses....even at 50% off...that is still $400 to you and me...I'm not totally crazy yet...
I looked at my daughter and said I thought this was an Outlet Mall you know bargins? Where are those? So we left Coach empty handed much to the delight of my husband who was responsibly overseeing the workmen at home..... and proceeded to the Wrangler/Lee store where we found men's shorts and I got my hubby a couple nice pair of jeans for $10.99 and $7.97 looking at my daughter and saying now this is what I am talking about.... Discounts!!!!
We had a lovely day shopping in the heat......Note it is too hot for this time of year here in Florida....but not quite as hot as it will get.....Then we drove to Sarasota and went to the Der Dutchman Restaurant and had a nice dinner I grabbed a to go dinner to bring home to tourist who I believe would never eat unless told to do so.........thin people I don't think I will ever understand them.....Blond likes to eat....my bad....any way
Daughter had a wonderful fun Birthday with Mom while our guys took care of business but we brought them home some goodies too and left money in the bank.....
Magically for the Blond the shed was totally repaired and painted.....the new breaker box is a beauty....and no more scary popping noises in our for-sea-able future....lol Plus the bill for repair on it was about $100 cheaper than we were told so that is always a good thing....Just need to get the inspector out and pass the installation and we are good to go....Whew what a day and glad to be back....Missed you guys but had a blast with the kid.....
We have a BIG New Breaker Box....
