I swear that I don’t know if it is hard, or if it’s fun to be a female in this society. So many women are so worried about their clothes. They spend a fortune trying to keep up with new fashion trends! With men, it is a lot easier to deal with fashion. Yes, there are still trends, but it is not quite so worrisome to us; we are more than happy to wear the same outfit for years on end! But so many women are so worried about what “everyone else will think” if they wear the same clothes for several years.
My wife recently bought several sets of slimming clothes that really minimized her problem areas and maximized her natural beauty. I think that it’s great that designers are paying more attention to pleasing shoppers in that regard. And I have to admit, I would encourage everyone to be investing money in ecological friendly clothes if they are going to buy new clothes anyway. But if you don’t really NEED new clothes, then I would encourage people to just keep wearing what you have!
My wife has been talking about putting in a couple of new stainless steel kitchen sinks in our kitchen. The one we have came with the house that we bought a long time ago. It was old even then! And the people who installed it put the hot and cold controls on backwards! And the knobs keep falling off! There are a lot of scratches and rust stains. I have to agree, it is way past time to get it. Maybe with our tax refund check we’ll be able to replace it! And I’d like to put in a small bar sink in the kitchen island as well. It would be really handy to have one there!
It has been quite a long time since our town went through the E911 conversion. I remember that letters were mailed to every resident in town, advising all of us that in order to be compliant with the conversion we had to name all of our roads, and put address signs on our houses. The letters were very specific about making sure that each house had an address sign on the side of the house that is visible from the road so that any emergency response vehicle could plainly read the house number from the road.
I remember buying an address plaque for my mother to put on the front of her house. I was amazed at how many different styles, types, sizes, and colors of address plaques there are on the market to choose from! My wife was so annoyed when my mother installed it on the side of the house where no one could see it! She must have nagged my mother and me for weeks before I finally persuaded my mother to let me move it to the front of the house where it belonged!
Bob called me up last night and told me that his father just passed away. He’s known for a long time that he has been ill, and the day has been coming. So he’s going to be moving to Lexington to be near his mother. She’s getting up in years and he wants to be closer to her. So he’s contacted Chapin Real Estate to help him find a place to live. He doesn’t want to move in with his mother; he knows that the grandchildren would just be too much for her. So he’ll be looking for a good price on Chapin Homes to see if he can accommodate his growing family along with the budget restrictions!
I’m always looking for more lockers for sale. Lockers are one of my favorite things to use for storage in my garage, shop, and basement. I’d even like to use a nice looking wood locker in the mud room of the house. They are a great way to organize things and keep things stored out of sight. I like the neat appearance of them.
Whenever my wife and I got antique shopping, or to flea markets we keep an eye out for them. I’m hoping to get a nice set to put in the foyer of the house, but I’d like to have my wife do some decorative painting on them to make them look really special. She’s been a little bit reluctant to put any in the foyer, but I think that since we don’t have a coat closet that lockers might be a good idea.
