last minute 4th of july needs!

anyone in need of some killer beach chairs for the 4th? pig and kent introduced joe and myself to the best beach chairs around! these will be especially critical on our 4th of july trip since we aren't right on the beach and will need to cart our belongings around.  these can be found at Costco (right when you walk in, regardless of the store) and are Tommy Bahama chairs. online at Amazon.com (see link below) they go for $50+ however at Costco they are only $24.95 each.  they cam be strapped on your back, have a cup holder, cooler, headrest, and zipper pouch on the back. if you're a costco member or have a friend who can take you, and are in need of some chairs here you go!

-The Art of Racing in the Rain by George Stein
-The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards
-Bossypants by Tina Fey
-Two Kisses for Maddy by Matt Logelin


other classics i have on my shelf to borrow are...
-Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks
-The Help by Kathryn Stockett
