Our Lowe's Experiences

Another pretty sunny day.  It was in the eighties.  I finished mowing the grass, and watered the new trees in the front yard.  I finally had a chance to check the Franklin trees, and all six of them have leaves.  Of course, they haven’t grown very much.  I also watered the flowers I planted in my new containers.  Now I am done for the evening.  Time to shower.

Slow start today.  Got my morning chores finished plus a few extras.  I plan to pull weeds today.  Nothing too strenuous.  While sitting here at my computer working on mine and Kevin’s blog I am watching two bluebirds busy mating. 

Just went out front and did some weeding.  It is really hot so I am going to wait for some shade to continue. 

Never did get back outside. 

Thursday Renea and I went shopping.  We have been wanting to go to this nursery over in Columbus, GA, called Bloomers.  So that was our first stop.  We were really disappointed.  They had a fair selection of plants, but were rather pricey.  However, we found a couple we had been looking for and were not able to find at Lowe’s. 

Renea called Stephanie to find out what time we could meet for lunch.  Her class had been cancelled so we headed to her house to pick her up.  Next was a discussion on where to eat.  Renea suggested DQ but Stephanie didn’t want that because she couldn’t get anything healthy.  She did say if we wanted to go there she would just watch us eat. LOL  We didn’t want that.  We eventually decided on Subway.  Tasted good because Renea and I hadn’t had that for a long time.  After eating we took Stephanie home, and stopped in to see Copper.  I had not seen this house that the girls were renting so I got a tour of the place.  Cute place.  They will be moving this summer since they are graduating.

Renea and I decided to wanted to go to Lowe’s on Veterans Parkway.  We didn’t know there was construction.  What a mess.  We did make it to Lowe’s okay.  Just took a while.  This Lowe’s had a lot more flowers and nicer ones.  Of course, we bought “a few” and some potting soil.  We decided it was time to head home.

Our last two experiences at Lowe’s have been interesting. The last time we were at the one in Opelika we both had a cart full of flowers.  We parked the carts and walked away to look at some flowers in a different row.  When we came back Renea’s cart was gone along with her flowers.  We walked around and found that this couple (man and woman) had taken the cart and were getting ready to check out.  When we approached them, they said they found it sitting at the end of the aisle and they liked the flowers.  Since they didn’t see anyone around they took it.  When we explained that we had parked it there and was looking at something else, they didn’t argue and Renea got her cart back.

Thursday when we were at Lowe’s in Columbus, we did it again.  We each had a cart with flowers and since the outside aisles were so small we decided to leave them parked while we looked at some plants two rows over.  While looking I happen to glance over at our carts and what do you know – some guy was taking the flowers off one cart and putting them on another.  Of course, me being so quiet and soft spoken, yells across the rows and asks him what he is doing.  Those are our carts and flowers.  He just said okay and walked away when I went over and put the flowers back on the carts where they belonged. 

I guess we won’t leave our carts unattended at Lowe’s again J
