Goldendoodles.....

See these dogs? This is the type of dog I want. I have been looking and looking at dogs and the thing is that I do not want one that sheds. I have been there and done that and know I will not do it again. What type of dog is this? It is a minature goldendoodle. Bad thing is that they cost $1800. Crap! I, however, love the looks and color of this animal. I mean, how cute are they? But $1800? I can not believe it. I guess I need to start looking for another kind or just keep saving my quarters to get one!

Alas, the painters have once again failed to showed up! They were suppose to be here on Friday but that was a no show. So I assumed they would be here on Monday. Again, a no show. I am left to guessing games when they will come. I have not heard from the ceremic and carpet place, so I am assuming my order has not arrived yet. I would just like to get things painted before the carpet is laid! Again, how hard do you hound your brothers who also happen to be your painters?

We had a beautiful day today. I was off and spent the day in the convertible running real and imaginary errands. I hated to pull the car into the garage and end the day of running! I am trying to savor these special days before they are gone for the winter. I did take some pictures of things around the front and back yard. I want to save these before they get tossed for the winter. I also planted some "fall" stuff in the pots in the back yard for some color through early and late fall.

Still working on my bathroom and bedroom. Hopefully will have some pictures to post soon.

Have a great week!

Pretty pretty fabric and Pottery Barn!

So I spent the morning sewing, something I do not do on a regular basis. Like the last big project I did involved making a cape for my son for Halloween. That was like 20 years ago or so! Anyway, I made these pillows to go with my new bedroom quilt. I don't know if you can tell, but it is beautiful porcelin blue color that I just fell in love with at Pottery Barn. I then found this material that was just calling pick me, pick me! So I made these envelope style pillow cases. I also have a contrasting stripe material that goes with this material. It is also calling me to recover my window seat in the bathroom. Now if I could just get the painters here to tackle several rooms, I could get my new carpet and ceremic tile installed. Hard to complain too much when the painters are your brothers! Good things come to those who wait!

Sand on my floors.

Yes, we are back from the beach. I have managed to scrape together a small amount of sand from the trip to put on my kitchen floor for the next week or so. I will keep walking on it and scuffing it with my bare feet and then dream of being back at the beach. Then it will be time to come back to reality. I have only worked 5 days in the last 4 weeks and yes, it realize that is completely disgraceful. I also realize that you all are just jealous! But it is back to reality tomorrow. Unfortunately along with the sand, I brought a nasty bug back with me. Started with just a hoarse throat and it has now come full circle so that I coughing and bringing up some thick green yuck! I went to bed last night at 8:00 p.m. after driving the 14 hours to come home, and managed to drag myself out of bed at 8:00 a.m. Hopefully I am at the tailend of this bug because even though I have enjoyed the days off, the work is still being piled on my desk! Definately not what a GeeChee girl wants! Enjoy the pictures (thanks Bob!) as will I when my GeeChee heart needs a dose of beach!

Summer Fun!

Yes, it has been a while since I have posted, but you know how it is, life just gets in the way. I have been meaning to, planning to, hoping to but just never did add to this blog. But, I am at the beach now, so I have a moment and thought I would add a few pictures (thanks Bob!) It has been a great week here, so relaxing. I have done just about nothing all week but float in the pool on a noodle with my sister in law! What a great way to spend the week. I am however, in serious need of some serious beach time, so that is where I am headed next. A sand chair, a book and a lot of sunscreen makes for a great way to spend the morning! I even got a dose of my favorite Island yesterday and dinner at the Deli. Life does not get much sweeter than that!

Clay Pot

So I spent Saturday working on the free Adirionak chairs that my friend Patti was able to score for me in my neighbor's driveway, that had FREE signs hanging from them. I painted them a delicious color called clay pot. They look and feel beautiful. See for yourself! And yes, I know the windmills look ridiculous, but they have managed to keep the robins from plopping their butts down and pooping all over my work of art! So they are going to stay. They have worked wonderful in keeping the birds from flying into the large glass windows on the back of the house, so I thought I would give them a try on the back of the chairs, and they work great! No more bird poop! It is the small successes in life that can make you happy! I have added a few more pictures of some of my plants. They are doing beautiful in the wet weather. So today I am thankful for paint called clay pot, windmills that keep birds from landing and pooping, flowers, dirt, sunshine and rain. I have much to be thankful for!

Things that can't help but make you smile!

So we were out last night with a couple of friends and in the parking lot of the place we ate and drank at, there was this van. Looking at it, you can not help but smile. It looks like someone had taken some white paint to create a canvas, and then just went to town painting this beautiful art on the van's body. It was great. Congratulations to its owners. It certainly looks like something that belongs in Haight Ashbury instead of here in Indiana. I loved it!
