Found my light!

We went to Lowe's to browse at the light fixtures - I think I found my light for the dining room.  And it's only $61!  Woohoo!

I restrained myself and didn't buy it today, but it's item #2420 and I will own it soon!

The best part?  We snagged a 6-pack for $40!  What a deal!  Dave's honey-do list is getting looooonger.
