Go scouting!

This past Saturday my children had a party to attend, so my husband and I took the opportunity to scout the area. We have lived in this area for a year and a half and there were many stores we had driven by and never stopped at. We visited pawn shops, second hand stores and normal retail stores By taking the time to visit eight stores we hadn't been in before and three that we hadn't been to for some time, we got a better idea of what is available to purchase here. We didn't spend much...just bought a set of pruning shears on sale at Home Hardware for $7.99 and went out to lunch at the new Mexican restaurant in Ronan. The thing of value that we acquired in that afternoon was the knowledge on where to get things And yes, there's at least one of those second hand stores I won't be going back to because it stunk....literally!
