I thought of getting similar cabinets from IKEA but they were a bit above my budget, especially with delivery added. Cheap as Chips is our "$2" store although things there do cost more than $2.<br />I am happy that Lola has settled in so well, but I'll confess here that occasionally I resent her because she isn't Angel. I know this will pass as time goes on.
