Since my last post we have been very busy and that is always a good thing. Jerry is installing insulation behind our metal garage door to help keep the western sun from heating up the garage so much. Of course now he needs a stronger opener because our cheap one is struggling with the additional weight. Every project has a follow up fixer it seems. We finally replaced the carpet in the house and while it is lighter than I thought we decided on...(who can tell from some little square sample?!) It does looks so much better. First of all it lightened up the rooms and basically just feels cleaner.

Found some perfect cushions for my new seating area but have yet to have anyone sit here.
My man has been unpacking and our remote control boat got the chance to sail! It misses the lake in MN but still looks wonderful in just a pool.
It was a wonderful day for me to see roses in bloom on five of my plants! So glad they are all making it after such a rough start!
We had Timothy and Jammie in and out last weekend for Coachella Fest and it was miserable cold weather. Timothy left after the performance on Sat for the east coast and then Ingerlise arrived! I think I am ready for a maid's position in a resort I can turn around guests so fast! We had signed up for a cowboy roundup golf tournament and of course went overboard on our golf outfits.
My man and his hero! Isn't this just too cute?! |
It is NOT possible to golf in cowboy boots without slipping on your butt! |
The good news is we came in 3rd and won 2 bottles of tequilla! How well they know us! |
I have not been sewing lately but hope to start up again when there is less going on. I figure its the perfect too hot outside thing to do. I guess deep down I am relieved to not be doing the Seattle show because I no longer feel the pressure to produce. I also dont have the high of thinking I might be a success at something. Life is trade offs I guess.
Last night Grace, Buster and I were laying in bed reading... actually only I was reading. All of a sudden there is some kind of crazy noise coming from outside actually scaring the cat it was so loud. So the three of us keep looking at each other wondering what the heck?..picture Gracie wearing her perked mickey mouse ears listening. Well... turns out its just our neighbor taking her 'action' outside and loving it. It felt like we were listening to Meg Ryan fake the big one in Harry and Sally... and oh so awkward! Seriously where does one go to not listen and who knew her short bald bf was that hot?!?! Life is good!
Thanks for dropping by.
What????? I'm reading the whole thing thinking about all these interesting points to respond to but you end with the neighbor having loud sex outside so that all the neighbors can hear??? WTF??? Who does that?? Good lord! If, I were to go out in the yard for such activity I would at least try to keep it down some...don't you think?
ReplyDeleteLife does look good for you guys, glad you're enjoying yourselves! Jerry does look good all "Duked" out!
The carpet is beautiful...I don't understand why the pets can't play the chase game anymore??
xoxo

I know right? I was in my bdrm at the other side of our house and could hear her! Buster thought some wild animal was coming for him! haha Seriously I couldnt even fake the noises she was making. OK fine maybe a little jealous!
ReplyDeleteThe carpet people said we need to watch out for pet toenails catching the berber loops because they will just pull a whole row out. Grace and Wolfgang both like to run around our couch as fast as they can and its a bit worrisome now. Definitely some pros for havin crappy carpet you dont care about.
Thanks for being my best/only reader! I have friends that say oh I cant be taking the time to read your blog yet they think nothing of wasting time on fb or pinterest. I love reading people's blogs~its like a personal letter into their life. I dont know Holly but look fwd to her blog and Jaynie updates. I guess you and I are more alike than we know. See you this summer! xo
LOL about the neighbor sex. My goodness, I would be so self-conscious! Obviously other people can hear you. I may have done it once in a communal bathroom (behind a curtain), where other people were walking in & out, and I was so nervous, I don't think I made a single peep. Don't really like those kind of situations, but whatever floats your boat.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the cowboy get-ups. Papa & the Duke! I am gonna share that one on fb : )
Can I sit in your chairs? Your view is so amazing
Sorry, that first part was TMI. My point was I'm always paranoid about being overheard & would be mortified to do it in public, but apparently not everyone feels that way!
ReplyDeleteWell she sure didn't! It felt awkward the next day to run into her and not comment "WHOA babe way to get it on!" We are not really friends tho so I zipped it! Sometimes its fun to be crazy and get away with something but shhhh!
