WE'RE HELPING THE ECONOMY
Cheryl and I purchased a sofa and love seat this afternoon from a small family-run furniture store in downtown Turlock which caters to Hispanics -- Minervas. We got a great deal and enjoyed dealing with some wonderful people. We got talking and figured out that the owners live around the block from us. The irony is that while we've been looking for a sofa and love seat for over a year, we went into the store yesterday because we're also looking for a table and they had some out on the sidewalk (We'd never been in there). Then we saw the couch. We bought the furniture at about 4 p.m. this afternoon and they delivered about 6 p.m. Sometimes it's the little surprises, like a deal in an unexpected place and personalized service, that makes life truly enjoyable.
