After we had coffee and breakfast it was time for Bruce and Jeannie to leave. We had a really great time while they were here and the time went by so fast. After they left Cheri started some laundry and then we headed out to see about buying a new washing machine and dryer. Our first stop was at Lowe’s, no luck there and didn’t get much help so our next stop was Home Depot. We had a very nice lady work with us told us about each washing machine. We change our mind on the one we thought would work the best for us. Now the one we are pretty sure we will be buying is the LG model. But before we buy I needed to do some searching on the internet checking the reviews of the machine. While we were there Cheri got a call that a pattern she order at the quilt shop in Plant City was in so we headed there to pick it up. And we had to go right past Parkesdale Farm Market (well almost) so we stopped to have strawberry shortcake. We headed for home after picking up the pattern. The van has developed a shake like a tire was out of balance and I found that the right front tire hadn’t been tighten the last time I had service done. So I went and bought a use wheel at the salvage yard and then went to Tire Kingdom to have a new tire installed. They told me it would be a couple of hours before they could get to it, so I left the wheel and told them I would be back later to have it put on the van. I went over to Baker Acers to visit Bud and Joyce to check and see if Bud was going on our Wednesday motorcycle ride. Then it was back to get the tire put on the van. While I was there they checked the front end alignment and they told me that the inter tire rods needed to be replaced. They told me the tire rods were 50 dollars each and with installation and front end alignment it would be 410 dollars. I told them that I would see about replacing the tire rods myself. When I got home I checked and found the tire rods for 23 dollars each. I also check the reviews on the LG washing machine and all the reviews I read was very good. Cheri watched the Olympics while I was getting the car done.
