Residential address plaques

  • Posted on June 22, 2012 at 10:20 am

Looking at residential address plaques, I’ve decided that I would like to buy one for my daughter’s new home. She lives way out in the country and I noticed she didn’t have house numbers on her new house. My daughter had mentioned that she gets people stopping by just to either turn around in her driveway or to ask directions to another home. It gets disturbing after so many of these stops, she said. I can understand her point. Also her mail carrier keeps putting her mail in the neighbor down the road’s box.

Some of the personalized address plaques I was looking at are really nice and one of these types would be a special gift. I know my daughter and she likes things of this type, so does her husband. He owns his own concrete company and it comes in handy to have their name and the house number on the plaque.

There are quite a few custom address plaques to choose from. Some are really fancy, but my daughter doesn’t care for anything really over the top when it comes to purchases like this. I’m sure I’ll be able to find the perfect one for her, and am looking forward to surprising her with it.

 

Power was for the house

  • Posted on June 22, 2012 at 10:03 am

Now that summer is here, I need to get the power washer out and give this house a major bath. We live down the road from a grain mill and when the mill runs, we get the chafe and dust all over. It’s always been a problem living here.

The farm trucks and wagons will use the section of road that is dirt and gravel, to come into town and the dirt from the vehicles sort of hangs in the air when they go by, which makes for not only a dirty exterior but also inside the house, now with windows open, it’s hard to keep up with the dust that comes in.

I love to use the power washer and the outside of the house looks so nice once it’s clean. Usually it only takes a couple hours to do it the right way, so it’s that is one of the things on my list to do this weekend.

Looking at horses

  • Posted on June 22, 2012 at 9:45 am

Later on today,  I’m going to go look at a horse that a person I know is selling, because she is moving and won’t have the accommodations to keep a horse, or any animals for that matter. I have the option of buying the horse, which I have had my eye on for about a year.

There are actually two horses, and my eye is on the palomino, which is beautiful and also well trained for trail riding. He is 5 years old and has lots of spunk to him, which I like in my horses.

If all goes well, I’ll be bringing home a new friend over the weekend. I’m pretty excited about this. My grand daughter loves to ride and is a natural on horseback, which I’m really happy about. With the price of gasoline now, and no respite it seems, I may just get a wagon and start going where I need to go via, horsepower. ;)
