Another Shopping Day :-(

We spent our P-day shopping again.  This time, we were purchasing items that we need for our new apartment, such as an ironing board, vacuum, pots and pans.  I didn't think that it would take all day, but unfortunately it did.  Since we are purchasing items that will remain in the mission when we leave, we are using an ecclesiastical exemption from sales tax.  That saves the Church a bit.  We also used several furniture items that had been left by previous senior couples.  We just learned that another couple will be coming to the mission in March.  There isn't much furniture left in storage for them, so they will need new furniture as well.
