A rocking chair and two end tables

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
This time we got up bright and early Saturday to catch the early stuff, and picked up a rocking chair (short enough for Honey's feet to touch the floor, even!), two end tables for the couch downstairs, a couple folding stools, and another computer chair for $35. The rocking chair was a bit big but I put it in the trunk and put a tarp cord around it and it was fine. We're still looking for some bookshelves and maybe a corner table, and a gently used dining room set would save a lot over a new one (we found a potential one but the guy's wife had run out without leaving a price, and he couldn't get her on the phone). Watched When a Stranger Calls, not all that impressed; finished Belgarath the Sorceror, on to Polgara.
On Sunday we checked out Avondale Bible Church, and happened to be there for a potluck dinner. (And they're not trying to give the pastor $80k and pay for a new building, either, like our friends in Collierville—the "we'll take your paycheck and tell you how much you have left" folks.) Nice place, nice people, and they're even starting a traditional service October 15, which we prefer; it seems the newer Christian church music gets, the more watered down the message, the more repetitive the lyrics, and the more aimless the melody—and the more the "performers" at the front begin to think that they're rock stars. On the way home we picked up a blind for the dining room window from Home Depot (they cut it down for free, 71" wide, minus a quarter inch on each side). I wanted to look at computers but the store was closed... second time they caught me out, too, I do believe. Watched Starship Troopers (seen it, fun movie, a bit intentionally over the top) and finished rewatching the Alien quadrilogy.
When we got back I went out and made a weeding pass over the front and back gardens while Honey took a nap; picked up three lawnmower bags full, but the back of the back is under control; either RoundUp™ is as good as they say or it's bad weather for growing weeds.
Oh, and I'm going to release Net::SSH2 0.09 to CPAN Monday night—I realized it was due when I replied to a guy looking for help with SFTP and told him to turn on debug output with the Net::SSH2::debug class method, and then realized that was just added in 0.09 which wasn't out yet.
