Baldwin hardware

Sprucing up a house to put it on a real state market was kind of fun. First we started with the little things. Changing out the kitchen sink  was little tough. The previous owner used an incredible strong silicone caulk to hold it down. After installing the new one along with the faucet  it came out beautiful. We called a friend of ours to change out six lighting fixtures. Myself I took on changing all the bedroom lock sets. Quite a few of the things came from Baldwin hardware. They have a very nice selection that was easy to pick from.

Bait and switch

My mother in law needed new tires on the front of her van. She calls around to get the best price. She went there to get the tires the sales man said that brand is iout of stock. But of course he had other ones that would fit her van but they were a premium name brand tire. So the sales man on the phone played my mom on a cheap price and then took her for twice the money. you gotta love sears.

Glass tile

It was so much fun re-doing our bathroom. It took us about three weeks in our spare time to pick out all the different materials for the job. At the last moment we decided to change out out chrome fixtures for brass ones. It looked beautiful but it didn't match the glass tile so we drove back and picked out another color. That worked a lot better with the color scheme of the room. All in all it was still fun.

Apple picking...

Is so much fun for our family  specially for our little guy and of course myself. It was our first experience to pick apples so every kind of apple in the orchard we had to try. We then decided that we should get each kind and fill the bag  that the person at the orchard handed  us. For nine dollars a bag  I am talking of a big bag. It was really worth it. Jarred was so ecstatic to see a lot of apples around us and  had to show mommy each one that he had picked from the tree. The fruits are with in his reach so that was very exciting. Now I can make my home made apple pie and apple fritters.

Indoor tanning lotion

We were so surprised at work when I told the managers after completing the five years of employment with them. They were sending us on an all inclusive five day stay in sunny Cancun Mexico. Of course there will be business meetings there. It was really just a big get together of upper management and all of us from different parts of the United States. Still it was great. I wanted to look prepared for all that sun. I put on my indoor tanning lotion. It looked so great against my yellow bikini. Everyone asked if I'd been there for a couple of weeks because of the tan.

Garden inside the house

Our outdoors plants  finally made it inside our house. If not for cold weather and freezing temperatures in the early morning I wouldn't transfer every plant we had and put in a pot from our garden. But I'm glad I did  because they seems to be doing better and some even have  flowers in them. I like to save our plants as much as we can and enjoy them for the rest of the season.

Sunday drive

I thought it was going to be another boring Sunday, but my husband said come on guys we're going for a ride. We ended up going to Mexico New York for a hay wagon ride in the apple orchard. It was a lot of fun after the hay ride we ended up going through the corn field maze. That was a lot of fun getting lost. And then after that we went to three different style apple orchards to pick different apples. Each field we tasted one to make sure it was one that we wanted to pick to take home. Our trip on the way home turned out to be yummy also. The church down the road had barbecued chicken that we  picked up for our supper.
