This Saturday we are having a birthday shindig with about 20 or 30 guests. There is nothing like the threat of guests to make me decide that nothing is up to par and it must be changed immediately.
We have been living with no house number, save the one on the mailbox, for 2 1/2 years. That has been remedied along with many other shortcomings.
Conveniently, in addition to our festivities, is the Senior prom so yesterday I ran myself ragged tying up loose ends for that. In the evening I had two school events to attend and when the doorknob on our front door broke I wearily browsed Lowes' website. I finally said, "Whatever just get one like the one we have." and left.
Really? This is the front door!
I did not even look until this morning. sigh...
That poor man has no idea what he is in for.

I understand Kerry. This time of year some furnishings are just looking tired. My daughter in law helped me pull out a couple of brighter rugs from the storage. She has a good eye! I also got out a white matelaise (?) throw to put on my study loveseat. Voila!

LOL, my sympathies! I can REALLY relate to such selections! Unless they are coached very specifically, some husbands just don't have the vision!!!
May and June are always crazy busy, but it's a good kind of busy! Hope the party and the prom are perfect, enjoy!!!
You've got a lot on your plate Kerry, don't worry, the guests won't notice the door at all. Mine is even worse, a rusty old brass knob! Advance happy mother's day dear, I'm sure your party would be fun no matter what!

With enough vodka tonics in everyone (and you!), the place will look like the Taj Mahal. ;)
You have my deepest Sympathies !
Curious to see how you manage this?
Oh the joys of home ownership and playing hostess with mostest. Next time you have a big shindig, you can try again.
Hey, brass is in!
Oh dear. This reminds me of the time I asked my husband to install a toilet paper holder in a historic home we just renovated. He hung it dead in the center of the wall opposite the door into the bathroom.
Thanks.
Sounds like madness. And I have a man like that at home (he suffers from what I call "Good Enough" syndrome).
Hugs.

Kinda like what's going on at our place!! Too much to do and not enough time. Hence my lack of visits and blog posts :(
Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend, Kerry! And enjoy the birthday party :)
