What Happens When the System Goes Down?

So, Debbie needed to buy some things for her apartment, and Dahlia and I, eager for an excuse to get out on such a lovely day, eagerly accompanied her to the Home Center Store. Everything seemed to be going fine ~ we arrived in the plant department (one of the items on her list) and we helped Debbie find some nice plants for her new living space. We also found a few for ourselves. Well, at the Home Center, in order for the nice man to pot your plants for you, you have to pay for the plants. So, I headed over to the register to do just that. And that is when things started to go down hill.

Turns out that (probably because too many people were taking advantage of the huge savings this weekend) the computer system crashes. I mean really crashes. Like for a couple of hours.

So.......... what DOES happen when the system goes down?

Well, you lounge around on some rugs, wondering if the colors really would look good in your apartment~


And you decide on one ~ or a couple! Along with some hangers, vases, storage units, mirrors, pictures..............!!



Yes, that is our Train o' Stuff leaving the Home Center Store!!!!




At the van at last!


Wait..... get IN the van????


And we're in! I mean, she's in!!


And he has never been happier to lock some Gringos in the back of the van!


Yup, I meant both of us!!!
