Just a wee giggle

What a giggle we had at the weekend, Myself and Jake went for a little wander to the shops. I am Scottish I call them Shops Jake calls them Stores. I wanted to go A.C.Moore, the shop was closing down and had lovely Easter decorations I would like for our porch. Jake wanted to check out the garden section in Lowe's. Both shops were in the same shopping precinct so that was really good.  Since moving over here I try to do things here like decorate the porch for different occasions or holidays. So, as I wandered off, I am bad for that, Jake says one minute am there the next am gone. As I wandered round what was left in the shop, picking up bits and pieces everything was seventy to ninety percent off. So, as I'm thinking how I can add to my Easter porch display Jake comes and finds me. With the words "You’re going to hate me" I said why am I going to hate you? He tells me in a slightly excited manner that the shop is getting rid of the flower displays for free. I said well go double check and get them. Thinking he was going to take some flowerpots off the display, I was like don't be silly that’s smashing. I encouraged him to find out if they were free, I said I'll wander in here till you sort it out, I won't leave.  He then tells me that we need to pay for what we have and leave together. At this point am like Why? As we finished shopping and we had a few bargains for our new home. By the way we don't have a new home yet, that's on the list too.

Any way I got sidetracked so there we were in the queue waiting to pay for the goods, I am excited for our purchases especially the amount of money we were saving. So, we get our shopping rung up and the cashier was really lovely even though the shop was very busy and the shelves were getting emptier by the minute. Finishing in the shop Jake said take the cart (trolley) to the truck, I'll be right out. I said I'll just wait at the front door. Thinking he was nicking in for some plant pots off the display. Well I was not prepared for what came next. I couldn't move for laughing, I laughed so hard I thought a different kind of drama was going to happen. Out walks Jake with the full display cabinet. We got to the truck and he finds his toolbox and starts to dismantle the pots. I had to call my mum and sister, let them in on the laugh. My mother in law is busy on Saturdays so I messaged her a photo. "What is he doing" with lots of laugh, I went onto tell them the story. Everyone laughed so hard, Jake was so serious and kept a straight face. At one point a lady stopped her car and asked him "Do you guys own a Florist"? He was not caring what anybody thought. He just saved himself a lot of money on plant pots as we now have twenty-four of them. The pots that I didn't think much about when Jake says, "you’re going to hate me". Still happy with his findings he set about trying to get the rest of the display on the bed of the truck. We left A.C.Moore's to go to Lowe's. Originally it was for a plant pot so we can start growing our own veggies, now it was for rope to tie the unit to the truck bed. Jake was so serious about his treasures he is yet to see why I find the whole thing hysterical. My side of the family were in hysterics at Jake's antics. His mum could understand why he done it and went on to tell me about Jake and his fish tree on his Grandmother's property. Maybe I should let Jake tell you all about that when he talks about his new venture in gardening. I was still laughing about it as we talked with his mum and dad on the phone later on Saturday night. I shouldn't laugh, I nearly died when out he walks with the whole display. A good Saturday to cheer us up. I should be grateful I got a wee shelf for the porch to place wee garden ornaments on.

p.s. I do love you to the moon Jake, you make me smile A LOT xxx
