Housekeeping

Yes, I have lived in my house for two and a half years, but I finally got some pictures hung today. The wall behind one isn't painted yet (it has been half done for almost a year -- one of the side effects of being easily distracted and having a husband who hates to paint) but I HAD to get it up. I will have to redo the vinyl letters once I do paint, but at least the picture is UP. And if you can't read the letters, the first one says, "a perfect brightness of hope..." and the second one says "Families are Forever."

We also got new bedding a few weeks ago and I had to show it off. I love new fluffy pillows and comforters. Makes me feel like a princess. And it inspires me to make the bed everyday. And the new bedding meant I finally bought drapes for our room. It is so bright in there when the sun first comes up that you need sunscreen at 4:30 a.m. (at least it feels that way when you are trying to sleep). There is also a street light right outside our window so it is light in there even at night. The blinds that came with the house worked a bit, but these are WAY better. I am planning to paint the walls the same blue as the comforter with maybe one chocolate brown wall. I haven't decided. And I am getting the father's day pictures of the kids printed as 8x10s and those will probably go on a wall somewhere. I need something nice to go above the bed, but I don't know what. It may take me another two and half years to figure that one out.

Lastly, here are the promised pics of my flowers. Don't mind the dead grass. We had to spray some very noxious weeds and we haven't dug out the dead grass to replant yet.
