I'm a Redhead... kindof

I'm always changing my haircolor. But, I've never been a redhead. I'm meeting weekly with my MOPS group to discuss a book that we are all reading. One of the questions last week was to list 25 things that I want to do before I die. I realized after about six things that I don't have lofty goals right now. Here's a sampling: clean the garage, be a redhead, be platinum blond, travel... insignificant stuff like that. So, today I went red. I CERTAINLY wasn't going to clean the garage! I was actually shooting for a more dramatic look. But, the stylist told me that because my hair was already so dark it was difficult to lift the color that much. So, this may be a work in progress (isn't is always?)...ah sigh!

Hi from Morgan



One of Morgan's most endearing qualities is his friendliness. He will say "hi" to anyone. LITERALLY. His favorite word is "hi"! And, he chooses to say hi to people that I would cross the other side of the street if our paths crossed. Morgan would say hi to this guy for sure. He said hi to a couple of weirdos yesterday at the grocery store and then again at Home Depot this morning.


YEA YEA YEA! I started AND finished a project this morning! After a pretty hefty bill from the rug cleaning and restoration people the dogs have now been banished to the back of the house. They actually had to take my dining room rug, clean it and redye parts where pee stains had discolored the rug. I love my dining room rug and was without it for three weeks while they restored it. We have an awkward walkway with angled diagonal walls that I needed to block off. There aren't any decent looking baby gates that work for this pathway. I know because I've research and researched. We've also had three failed gates. So, I decided to make a permanent barrier that is easy to step over. My dogs are only 4 pounds and 11 pounds. So, this 17" barrier works perfectly. I stained the wood and painted the brackets I made to secure it to the wall. It looks darker than it really is in the picture, DONE!



Water Baby

Well, Morgan is for sure a ladies man now. We bought a pool. Yep, he's living the high life. Remember the car. Now he can drive the ladies back to his pad and lounge in his pool.







Keeping up with the Cox's

Our neighbors better watch out... hee hee! We finally landscaped (besides the boring bushes) the front beds. We had the beds bumped out several feet,added a yard of dirt, added mortared stonework, landscaping and a bench for me to sit on in the front yard. It took my lovely husband all weekend and was quite the project. Everything should start filling in within the next couple of months. We planted over 200 mondo grass plants alone! Thanks Dan!
