12. Good policy

Thanks for your input!

I have been to a few places that carry outdoor furniture. The cost of things I liked were beyond me. This was an impulse buy and as such, a mistake. My only excuse is that it was feeling like I'd been looking for ages. ADD kicked in. I got impatient and said f-it. That said, all the shopping has given me a good sense of what's out there. It shipped faster than expected. Tomorrow is the day of reckoning.
