Things are looking good!

Things are really starting to come together here. This weekend Dave and I got a lot done. We decided to forgo the Christmas lights on the roof. The pitch of our roof makes things very dangerous to be up on. Dave did go up but slipped and almost fell off. I just don't think it is worth risking falling and breaking a neck, hip, or leg. You hear of people having life changing accidents every year putting up Christmas light. I just don't think it is worth it! So instead we put Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clause up in the Dormers and lighted wreaths in all of the windows. I might put some light up on the bushes later.

Friday I went out back and hacked on some bushes. They have not been touch in a long time and needed some trimming. What I was doing was practicing so that I could trim the front bushes and not make a mess out of them. In the back I am the only one who sees the hack job. I might have a professional trim the front for me.

This weekend we also put up a new kitchen light. The old light was track lighting and we don't really like track lighting. It just isn't bright enough. Dave also took out the dimmer switch and but in a rocker switch. Not sure why there was a dimmer switch for that light. We replaced one exhaust fan in the Master bath and plan on replacing the exhaust fan in the guest bath next week. Dave also put a ceiling fan up in the guest room with a remote control, which I love having remotes for the fans. I guess I am a tad lazy.

And for the Tobtsers, he has found a new friend. His friend lives next door. His name is Harley and is a white Esckomo. Harley loves Toby. His mom want let him get dirty so we walk every morning about 4:30 am and every evening about eight. I did not take Toby last night and let me tell you! I have holes all over my body from his glare! He loves his walks. We have been walking about a mile each time we go. Natelie is my neighbor and she is the one I walk with. She is almost 6 feet tall with very long legs so you guess it I am running to keep up with her! LOL. My legs are getting very sore. In fact my whole body is sore after all of the yard work this weekend with walking on top of that. Maybe I will finally get in shape!

Tomorrow I plan on steam cleaning the carpet. Toby and GA red clay just don't mix! That is if you don't like red carpet!
