Teri has been naggingasking me for a long time now to buy and install an electric garage door opener.  I don’t know why our place didn’t come with one in the first place, but it didn’t.  Teri keeps telling me that it would make our lives so much easier, especially when we need to haul groceries inside from the car.  I’ve been putting it off because I really didn’t think it was that big a deal; the garage is basically a storage space and not really used to store any cars, so it really isn’t necessary to put in an electric garage door opener.  Teri also says it would be good on those occasions when we got out and expect to come home before dark but end up coming home after dark we would have to fumble around with flashlights and keys, we could just press the remote control button and the garage door would automatically open and turn on the garage light, which would enable us to find our way back into the house.

Well, as I said, I’ve been putting it off for as long as I can.  Last week it was pouring rain – really hard when we came home from grocery shopping and we got drenched trying to haul the groceries in.  So I think I’ll start to consider getting a garage door opener after all.  I think Teri maybe has a valid point after all!
