I finally decided that it was meant to be and picked it up a little regretfully, as I thought the next time I come to check on it it will be gone.  The cute little checkout boy, and I mean boy he looked about 18, reached under the counter and scanned a 30% off coupon and sang out "Merry Christmas"!!!  Well Merry Christmas to me indeed! Final price was $49.00!  Patience pays off again.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioSb4r3MP49p0x5UeNZOFPreNuhXl5ELm9d2hkkaA6ANIWVFaxflOBHWTjEIT3fghvQRdnsWW5Hp5QrK5-N8Nh_C-r3ShAfocJpPP-M2cPK_St2-ZtTAWz2q5KG2T_MYNGBpOa9pFBsGu2/s1600/guestbdr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioSb4r3MP49p0x5UeNZOFPreNuhXl5ELm9d2hkkaA6ANIWVFaxflOBHWTjEIT3fghvQRdnsWW5Hp5QrK5-N8Nh_C-r3ShAfocJpPP-M2cPK_St2-ZtTAWz2q5KG2T_MYNGBpOa9pFBsGu2/s640/guestbdr.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Here are two sweet pillows that I might use.
