Picking a carpet

We designated Saturday as a day to not have any other plans but look for carpet and paint. We did have lunch with mom at Culver's but then got to shopping. After looking around at Eckard's (a fairly large store) we found a color/texture we like and took a sample of it. We were tired and it felt like the hottest day of the year thus far and so we came home and took short naps and then we went to Mernard's. We found something there very similar that was much cheaper and we think an even better quality. We have some paint sample cards but have not made that decision yet. We ordered the carpet last night and it will be in next week if all goes well. They will keep it stored until we need it. We just wanted to be sure it was available when it was needed. They worked on the ceiling rafters Friday and since it is raining today, I doubt much will be done, if anything. The carpet is a variegated Berber. Church was followed by a trip to Aldi's yesterday and mom and aunt Shelly brought hamburgers and side dishes, Mark made baked beans and we had dinner together yesterday evening, It was nice. Mom made the most delicious Jello salad. I will try to get the recipe and share it. She ls made brownies. I really did a bad job on diet yesterday but I really enjoyed it!!
