The Hits Keep Coming

 It has been a very expensive November for us here at The Compound.   First, we had to get a new hot water heater.  Then the next day, I got the property tax bill.  And just now, we bought two new La-Z Boy recliners for the family room.  

Last night when the Old Man got up to go to the bathroom, the foot rest on his recliner wouldn't go back up.  We got it back in place after kicking it.  This a.m. it did the same thing.  So we decided to bite the bullet and get new ones.  The other recliner has the same issue;  for the past two years I've used a little foot stool to prop my feet up on, and prayed each time I got up from the chair that my clumsy ass wouldn't trip over the stool. 

Normally it would take about three months for a LaZ Boy recliner, since they are all made-to-order, but the very nice saleswoman checked and found the one we picked out in a darker leather that was currently in production, and should be delivered mid-December.

We're just thankful that first of all, we have the money to spend on new furniture, and second, that the old ones lasted as long as they did.
