When I was a baby, my mom would tell me stories of how I loved our garden. She told me that I used to stay there all afternoon staring at our flowers, having tea time with my little china doll and just having a small snack time with her. I wanted my daughter to have [...]
Having my floors re-installed is a new experience for me. I visited the house of a friend and saw his re-designed wood flooring. It has that certain feel to it that I can’t explain. He was smiling at me as I examine the effect from different angles. Over-all it fits perfectly, it really looked good [...]
Whenever my friends ask me of what I am afraid of, I always say “anything with more than four legs, or no legs at all.” My dog, bob, has been my company for more than two years. He’s a Labrador retriever that is just intelligent that I’m proud of him. But when I get to [...]

Have you ever tried getting burned out by your own garage? Take it from me—I’ve been there. Dealing with my mans’ all kinds of unwanted items, scarps, junks—you name it.
Its right there—giving me headaches every now and then. No matter how many plastic containers I bought to store all of it, the clutter still there. [...]
