Costco & Leather Ottomans

So, the Brokehomeowners venture out to two of our favorite places to shop: Costco and Sam's Club. We're "in the market," as they say, for some inexpensive yet durable chaise lounge chairs for the deck we finished last fall. You see, last summer we built the deck, this summer we plan to use the deck. Using the deck requires a couple of chaise lounges.

So, we start perusing the aisles at Costco (isn't that the only way to shop at Costco?) when what to our wondering eyes should appear? But a leather ottoman, of course. A leather ottoman we've been looking for to use in the family room since we moved more than a year ago.

So much for the chaise lounges - at least we still have some time before Spring...

Winter Thunderstorms

You know you're a broke homeowner when...


a winter thunderstorm brings a smile to your face because all you can think about is how good it is for your new lawn and trees.

Sick Kids

Ugh!

As Forrest Gump would say, "That's all I have to say about that."
