The clock is ticking down...
Six day until my friend from the UK arrives, eight until we leave for Albuquerque.
It's definitely time to get my butt in gear and get things finalized for the trip. Yikes...
I have no pictures, but this past weekend, I re-caulked my bathtub. That included cleaning out the old stuff, cleaning the tile and tub and then replacing the caulk. It looks so much better now. Why didn't I do that long ago...? Mostly because I wanted to paint the tile rather than just re-caulk, but as I mentioned before, that whole project would be cost and labor intensive.
I have my lists ready so now it's time to start checking things off...
On another note--FALL has arrived!!! It was 62* this morning when I let the dog out.
Hope you had a great weekend!!

Do I Want More House...?
In the last couple of weeks, I have been a guest of friends with considerably larger homes than my own. In getting to these friend's homes, I had to drive past newer, larger, more expensive neighborhoods than the one I live and I wondered: if I could afford and upgrade, would I want it?
And the answer is, quite frankly, no.
The size of my house is perfect. Enough rooms for what we need and not so large that I can't clean it myself in a weekend if I were of a mind to. Which I'm not, but I could do it.
The yard is a decent size. We live in the middle of the block. And we don't currently have any overly-noisy neighbors.
DH is not especially fond of our house or the neighborhood we live in, but even when we get around to moving, I still don't want a bigger house. A little nicer one, for sure, but not much bigger. On the other hand, I'd love more property. I'd love to be out in the sticks where I can watch the weather roll across the countryside and see the crops growing. Maybe someday.
Have a great weekend!!
