I have been on vacation since December the 14th as I had a lot of vacation left at the end of the year and didn't want to lose it. I still have to roll some vacation over to next year. Anyway, with all the rain, working in the yard is almost impossible so that gave me an excuse to ride the roads. I didn't have to go far as this insulator was about two miles from my house. The shop owner was asking only $7 for this beauty and I really felt bad when I took it to the counter. I offered her much more than the price tag and I thought her jaw was going to hit the counter. She was so pleased that she offered to give the ladies in my life something from the shop. After a phone call, my wife and daughter soon joined us and they each got several items before we left the store. The lady said that they had gotten in a batch of insulators and sold all the green ones a few days before I walked in. She said they started to save this one because it was mint and so pretty, but changed their minds and had just put it out that morning.
