Jeez, June seems to have been a bad month for celebrities: RIP... June 28 - Billy Mays June 25 - Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson (Guess Farrah's family is pretty ticked...) June 23 - Ed McMahon June 3 - David Carradine There are a couple of other notables, but I think those were the really high profile ones... We finally went and got my grill on Saturday, and then it decided it was going to rain. And then didn't. But we'd already gotten it all packed away for a storm... We also decided that we needed a patio set (We've only been in our house four years next month) - so we started looking around for something inexpensive - or preferably cheap, even. There was a /really/ cheap ($100) set of 4 chairs and a table at walmart, but it was sold out. Just as well - the chairs were only rated for 200lbs - which excluded me, so it probably wouldn't have ended up pretty. We found a really nice set at -- Kroger -- last night. Who'd have figured. Kroger's got all their outdoor furniture for 40% off right now, so we found a pretty neat set of swively chairs with a metal table for four - that didn't have one of those glass tops that makes me worry... It's got ceramic tiles inserted into the top which are replacable with any standard tiles if they break or whatever, and apart from the chairs' semi-old lady pattern, the whole set without an umbrella was only about 200 bucks. The umbrella stand was only an additional $15, so we got that too. Now we need an umbrella... So, once we have the table built - we'll officially have a full deck set. Katie and Ryan have been mildly sick this weekend, so we just took it easy (aside from carrying around grils and patio furniture) so that they could rest. Tags: family, news
