The Saga Of The Canopy

I'm in the middle of my long Memorial Day weekend and I must say a bit has been accomplished though most of it was yesterday. Today was not as busy and tomorrow looks to be busier.
I've been pining over getting a canopy top for our patio. Right now it's open with a table chairs and umbrella. So I've been looking all over the area for the right size. I need a 10'X 13' canopy and if you are the least bit famaliar with canopies they come in the 10 x 10 size. Not good for me.
So now I have to decide on how much to spend. First I wanted to spend only a few bucks, like $50. Soon I was up to $199 to $225 and thought nothing of it but I still wasn't finding what I wanted.
I'm now stressing, I've to Home Depot, WalMart, Big Lots, looked online at Sears, JC Penneys even Sports Authority and even Googled Canopies which gave me a plethora of companies selling canopies either too fricking large or 10 X 10.
So after church today we stop at our local Ocean State Job Lot for a couple items for an uncoming fundraiser at out church and figured I would look for a Grill Cover, now that's another story. Well next to the grills were canopies, two them. One 10X10 and the other 10X13, which was the size that I wanted!!! And the cost? $39.99.
So I've come full circle, figuring that the cheaper canopy will work for now, first of all to see if the canopy is really what I want or not before I spend any more money. Next year I can decide whether or not to pursue it any further.
