Good Weekend

This weekend was good. We weren't able to get everything done that we wanted to, but we did go to a builders show at the Convention Center, and we went to Ikea and got a media cabinet with money that we got from my parents for Christmas. Thank you Mom and Dad! Also, I was able to get some much needed sleep. I have had a lot on my mind lately with planning for our new roof and solar panels we are getting installed. We are all set for the project to start, and the roof will be installed either late this week, or the following week.

Well, it is a start of a new year, and I know that 2015 will be great. We have a lot of projects planned for this year. After the roof, we will be painting the house, and working on improving the yard. Eventually we are going to have a water feature in the front and a Koi pond in the back. I can't wait. I really missed having those features from when we lived in our fairview house. There is something about the sound of water that instantly calms you. It really makes a difference. Also, at this house it will be even better because we don't have the air traffic that we had in Fairview. We are really going to have a tranquil little oasis here. Getting a gas fireplace will also be a goal for 2015. That will be a big expense, but with the right planning we will be able to do it. When we have the solar panels done they are going to remove a large blue spruce tree in the front of the house, and we have decided to have them leave some of the wood behind. We are going to use one of the logs for our mantle. I think that will add some really nice character to our living room. I just love the idea. It would seem like such a waste to just give away all of that wood. We might even use some more of the wood for other projects, but we are not sure yet. Send out good vibes for a lot of sales on my web site. We will need it.

Happy New Year to everyone. I wish everyone has a great year, and I can't wait to have some fun with everyone this year.
