When we first went to Big Lots years ago, they never had many things

to get excited about, but I started going to the one closest to us

when we moved to the Pittsburgh area to help survive life in a

temporary apartment then 3 months in our house before dh's previous

boss got in hot water because she kept blocking the delivery of our

furniture. Since then, when I have the energy I love to see what new

things they have. Sister-in-law was amazed when she saw some things

we had when she visited a few years ago and I had to take her to the

local one. Now I think she shops at a local one (that is if tourist

town, Albuquerque and the various places they have in Colorado, allow

such stores!).

But since gardening is such good medicine, I can see that when we

move, I will be going to one close by --- will probably also need to

find things to fill in a house that is double size of this one!
