Day #5295 – (Fri., July 5, 2024) – Katie’s New Bike!
Bobby has been asking for colored pencils, and I just happened to have a huge set in one of the boxes that we brought from Chapel Hill (see photo to the right).
We went to Wayfair Insurance this afternoon to get insurance and BC license plates for the van. Next up was Quality Foods next door to get some coffee for the new coffee machine that I purchased yesterday. I selected some Spring “Grand Heron” coffee beans, and some ground Tim Horton’s original.
We then drove across the bridge to visit “Scrapbook Central“, where Katie got a new sketch book, and some “refillable” markers. I waited in the van while my wife and Katie went inside. They said that if Arnesa ever went into this store she would never leave!
Next on the agenda was visiting LazyBoy. They have a sale on recliners and the salesman showed us around and even introduced us to the designer. Pretty nice models, but pretty expensive as well…even with the sale price. The question remains is it worth the price to pay for the name “LazyBoy”? I see that Amazon has a number of recliners that are much cheaper, and offer free delivery to our door as well. Lots to consider before we actually lay out the cash…
For the final stop today we went to “Blue Toque Sports” to get Katie a new “second hand” bike for $89 (see photo to the left). She also picked up a helmet, that was practically new with all the tags on it and everything. When we got home I had to lower the seat a bit for her. I also increased the height on the bike that Katie has been using up till now for my wife to use. Now I’m the only one without a bike… 🙂
I tried out my new coffee machine this evening for the first time with the Tim Horton’s ground coffee that I picked up at Thrifty’s Foods this afternoon. Works like a charm!
