The person selling the pond liner finally replied to Kelli’s message where she inquired about dimensions. A pond was a feature of our new landscape, and at forty dollars it was quite a bargain. Eventually the sizes were revealed and we made arrangements to collect whilst we were out getting supplies.
Of course nothing happens without incident, and this time a free desk was available at the side of the road.
We set off in search of the piece, Kelli’s brain was working overtime calculating the shortest route. We got to the street heading east, she suddenly stopped the truck having seen the desk on the other side of the cross road on the west side. She spun the truck around and zeroed in on her pray. How she saw it by glimpsing in the rear view mirror I’ll never know, I barely see what is directly behind me, when I use it.
We loaded it into the truck, it was too large to be able to get the pond in as well, so we headed back home to unload.
As we approached the address with the pond we saw the tell tell signs of crazy stupid, in other words, a Trump flag. My breakfast nearly came back for a second time, but a bargain was a bargain, so with my hand over my mouth I grabbed the pond and Kelli stuffed the money under a toy, as we made our escape.
I stopped off at Menards to buy some supplies. The traffic was crazy because today is the first day of the tulip time. This is when the town is besieged by people looking at the tulip displays. The locals curse under their breaths at the roads are packed with slow moving cars viewing the flowers planted neatly by the side of the roads.
