Near Repeat Conundrum

Remember back last month when we had a little incident at Lowe's?  Grill too big to fit in the back of our Camry?

You'd think we'd have learned our lesson, but perhaps not.

Without much of a plan yesterday, Memorial Day holiday, we set off to do a few things, and while out and about thought we would stop by Lowe's to look at patio chairs.  The ones we bought at Target last year, made out of plastic, seem to crack at will.

Let's just look and see what they have, we told ourselves.

While looking at some chairs, Leila and her husband just happened to walk by and casually say, "Sorry we didn't bring the pickup today (ha, ha!)."  No problem, I replied.  We are sure to be able to fit a few chairs in the back seat of our car.

Moments later, another set of friends walk in and we told them that we were about to put these six chairs into our car.  They looked dubious and said that they had brought their truck, and they would be happy to help us out.  No worries, I said.

We wheeled the chairs out to the parking lot, and soon we thought, worries...  Better go get the O'Neills!

Since this blog post is getting way longer than it has any right to be, the short ending to the story is that although I went back in to find the O'Neills, the chairs managed to fit into the back seat of the Camry, and now they are happily sitting on our patio.

Should our next car be bigger?
