Moving Right Along to Painting and other Embellishments

After purchasing new furniture and tables this month, we decided to paint the upper half of one of our living room walls with a color that matches the new furniture.

I'm Not Sure if I'm Making it Easy on Myself by Making Two Dinners

John and I have a few different tastes when it comes to certain meals. I do not like sloppy Joes and John does not like shrimp, but I am making both so that we each get what we like to eat for dinner today.

The Air Quality Today is Just Horrible

Early this morning I woke up congested and hoarse from the poor air quality that we are experiencing here in Pittsburgh from the Canadian fires. Thank goodness for allergy medication.
