Friday we spent all day out and about... once again.. we headed out for a 9:30 am appointment in Stanwood ( ten minutes from home ) to get a new windshield in the truck.. and we got home about 6:30pm. We ended up heading into town to go to Home Depot to get a new mailbox... and well first we had to get some lunch since it was 11 when the windshield was done.. and it is looking very spiffy I might say.... also made an appointment to get the new shower doors installed in a couple of weeks....back to lunch.. we didn't want to just spin through some fast food.. so decided to go to Red Robin... I always get the same thing.. Bonzi Burger.. I love it so much...I have to say even though they totally forgot to put the pinapple on there.. it was the very best burger I have ever had there... service was a bit slow but the burger was worth it. Then since we were driving past we stopped in at Costco.. just to walk around and see what they have... didn't buy anything... then to Home Depot.. plan was.. buy a cedar post to make a new mail box stand.. and a new mail box.. ok that was quickly shot to heck when we walked past the clearance section and they had a really nice white one marked down from $130 to $25... then off to look at mail boxes.. well if we get this post then we need this type of mail box and yet we like the mail box that would go on the wood post.. but... then again.. this other mail box closes better.. but this one has a better flag ( which we never use ) point being.. too many mail boxes... finally we decided on a white one that goes great with the post. The post has this ball thing on the top... dont like it.. so we picked up a solar post light to go on top of it... Also picked up a great sign for the house numbers, which we had to go to Lowes for since we didn't like the house number selection at the first store. While we were at Lowes we also found a pack of 12 solar yard lights on a great sale so we grabbed them too. We have a set on the deck now but they are old and not working so well.. this pack has enough to put some around the deck and some in the new gardens :) We still need a patio set for the deck, can't decide if we should make something or buy something.. and a cool bench or small sitting set for the side of the house. We got the post all set and ready to go.. but the mailbox when we took it out of the box was dented.. had to return it and go to two different stores to get one that was not dented... finally it is all installed and it looks great.
