If there is a recession you wouldn't know it around our house. My wife decided she wanted everything new in our bedroom. We found a good good four poster bed in a second shop for around 250.00 that wasen't too bad. Now we needed a couple new dressers and a new matress. For what I paid for that stuff I could have bought a real good tractor. We had the carpet cleaned, I got off easy on that one, 60.00. What started everything, was the wife saw a show on dust mites that live in matresses. In all my 67 years sleeping I have never been attacked by these mites, so if they were in my matress they appear to be harmless. Next year I am going to need a few good mowing jobs to pay for all this. Life goes on. Stan
