Funny story about that. We went to a town looking for patio furniture that we saw their add on that i haven't been to and of course GPS eventually got us there. It was just like the sign, make a left here, go straight, jump over to this road and according to the voice we arrived. And yes GPS on the way back.

So we enter the store and first set we see, thats what we want just a $ 700 price tag on the chair and has to be sold as a set the young lady says. Okay we want to look around the show room first, so that we did and said ring up the patio set we like.

A few minutes of chit chat and joking around goes by and they will help me put it in the truck. The young lass says that will be 448132. As in $ 4,481.32!!!!! Ching ching. The plumjuice and i in unison said whoo, what happen to the $ 700.00? Oh that is just for the chair. Slightly embarrassed and very apologetic we got out of there ASAP.

Needless to say my butt's not sitting tonight on a $ 4,481 patio chair.

Ain't that the truth DD. My first mortgage in the late 70's was $ 354. Scrimed and saved then to meet ends, not going to do that for $ 4K to sit my butt down.

I did the unthinkable and stopped and asked for directions today and
Even google maps and my GPS couldn't help me out.

This is what it was like.


That sign reminds me of what would be needed to navigate the mountain roads just outside of San Remo, Italy. Wife and I made a trip up the side of the mountain to have lunch and none of the roads were marked with names or numbers. You need someone to lead you up the mountain because maps, GPS and verbal instructions will not get you there. I grew up on unmarked ranch roads in Nolan County Texas but nothing like the road there.
