Thurs night Critter was taking me to Olive Garden and we made a quick stop at our local Sears. We are in need of a Pancake generator. We didn't find one but we did find ourselves eyeing new lawn tractors so we do a little lookin around then leave for dinner.
Our current mower we got free, not really free my Dad made a deal with us about 6 years ago wherein he got a new dryer, I got the lawn tractor that was owned by my sister and she got a non-working push mower. Yea, my Dad could make deals that sounded great really until you were standing in your driveway with a non-working push mower and your sister just drove off with your working tractor and Mom and Dad were home using their new dryer.
Flash forward to today the mower leaves giant clouds of white smoke so thick you can't see, the seat cuts your butt, you have to use a hammer and screwdriver to start it and I could go on how the wheels are vertical and how the tires are racing slicks but ya get the picture.
We ended up talking about how we needed a new tractor and the expensive of one $1000-2000.00 for the type we need and how my Uncle Cleve (He owns a Sears store and lives on the Texas Coast) my have one we could get, so I call him and the next thing I knew ROAD TRIP!
We made a run to Rockport, Texas. 5 hours and your there. I love my Aunt and Uncle they are tons of fun and just great people.They have this great house right on the water. I love it at their house. Well, as you can see in the picture we now have a brand new lawn tractor with cruise control and all the bells and whistles. ME SO HAPPY!!!
I never did get dinner and I told ya I wasn't your avg. woman.
I am flippin excited over a mower.
I would be ecstatic too! I swear I would love to drive and use a front end loader too. I like those big landscaping trucks, etc. too!
ReplyDeleteI hope Critter knows how lucky he is to have a wife that gets "flippin excited over a mower". You two are a match made in heaven.

You are not the only one who gets excited over a new mower. I LOVE my mower and have been known to mow my neighbors' yards too, just because I hate to quit. Happy Mowing!
ReplyDeleteMitzi,

Thank God were not weird or anything :-)
