Today we got a new (used) grill off of Craigslist for $35! Abram had to take it apart to get it in the car. Even counting the $15 adapter we had to get for the propane tank, it was a bargain. I guess November 1st isn't the beginning of the grilling season in the Northern Hemisphere.
So after we get this thing taken apart and in the car, we headed by Lowe's to get the adapter, and while we were there, we happened to find a large majesty palm on sale and a wagon for Owen. Actually, it is a small utility cart, but it is a great, sturdy wagon on sale. I had suggested to Mom that this would be a great Christmas present for Owen, and seeing as we're a billion miles away and wagons are usually not checked as luggage onto airplanes, we had arranged for us to buy one here. It was on sale and was the last on left for the season. Owen enjoyed riding around Lowe's looking for the other stuff with the plants.
On our way home, we were a sight rolling down the road with a not-so-small-once-you-try-to-get-it-in-the-car wagon in the front passenger seat (which was reclined all the way back), a majesty palm taller than me sticking out of the back passenger window, a grill stand attached to the bike rack on the back of the car, and Abram, Owen, and I stuffed into the remaining spaces in the car. Luckily we made it home safely without any damage from the stuff falling on us or from the odd looks we got at red lights. I just smiled really big at the people whose eyes got big at us. :o)
Daddy and Owen put the grill back together when we got home, and they cooked some steaks I had marinated in anticipation of our acquisition. They also gave the jack-o-lantern a second spin with a "noder candle" - all things fire!
