Holidays

I can’t wait to go home to see the family for the holidays. I am leaving early from school, so I can do my shopping and be able to get it all done in time. I have to wait to do it there, because taking it all on the plane would cost too much and I don’t want to have to mail it to myself there. It is just easier to shop after I get home.

I am lucky in that I already know what I want to buy for my family. They are relatively easy to shop for anyway. For my nieces and nephews, I will just go hit up Toys R Us with my sister and let her pick out what they like. There will be jewelry for my mom and sister and my dad is simple to shop for. I just get him whatever new gadgety tool that is out on the market and he is happy. Makes for an easy shopping trip. Yay for me!

A little blues

Even guys have to clean house sometimes. Mine is in desperate need of it, so I have kicked on a little blues and am cleaning the house from top to bottom. I am not one of those guys that likes for someone else to come in and clean. Then I can’t find anything. That is okay though, because my mom gave me really good home training as she says. My place isn’t a wreck or anything, it just needs dusting, vacuuming and such. The kind of cleaning I only get around to once in awhile. It will be done by the end of the day though. I am determined.

Planting a dream

Since the weather has been cooperating lately, we have been taking advantage of the time to fix up the house. We have managed to do a lot of work outside of the home and have gotten the yard in tip-top shape. I have weeded the gardens while my wife has been planning the overall effect of the house from the street. She has become an artist in a sense.

One thing she did was to add some window boxes to our home. We planted some small flowers under the windows to make our home more attractive. There is something about a windowbox that makes a house into a home. It looks good from the street and it makes me glad to come home to such an uplifting sight after a long days work.

She also did some work in the back of the house. She added flower boxes to enhance the overall look of the garden area. While we have many plants already, there can never be enough. I think it looks great and I am glad that I have a wife who knows how to dress up a house. She has a special talent for that sort of thing. I know that everyone will enjoy the flowers when springtime comes. I know I will.
