My neighborhood is really looking great

posted by:

Since I started doing some things in my yard like adding the new address plaque on my house and at the end of my driveway, other people in the neighborhood must have liked what I have done.  Lately I have noticed that several houses now have new address plaques.  I think it’s great because it really makes the neighborhood look really nice.

Custom address plaques and numbers really dress up the yard and your porch if that’s where you have to put yours.  It makes it a lot easier to find your house when guests are coming and just adds that something special to your porch or where ever.  I did have a couple of my neighbors ask where I got my home address plaques from since they liked mine better than what they were able to find too.  I gladly shared the information since that’s what neighbors do after all.

Respect the Seniors

There is nothing I love more than seeing a little life still in Seniors.  I once heard an older woman on ‘Fame’ many years ago tell one of the students that was dressed as a senior to prepare for a play she was in, “When I look in the mirror I see an old woman and can’t figure out how this has happened when inside I’m still that 16 year old girl I was all those years ago.”  I never forgot that.  Well here’s to the Seniors that still feel like that 16 year old inside of them.

Remember what Wilma and Betty would say?

When Wilma and Betty of The Flintstones would go shopping, they would say “Charge it!”  Do you remember that?  I loved watching that show.  Well when I go shopping, I say ‘Internet!!’   If I’m looking for hedge trimmers, I know where to start my search.  It’s always the same place because not only do I find what I’m looking for, but I also get a lot of advice about it too.  Then there’s always a need for home accessories.  I love decorating my home.  I find the neatest things on the Internet.

Lately I’ve been looking for housewares and home maintenance items.  You know before you know it winter will be here and there’s always some type of home maintenance that needs to be tackled.  But the one thing I love shopping online for is furniture.   I’m taking one room at a time and looking for just the right table, chair, or accent table for that room.  I do love online shopping.  Sometimes it’s just ‘window shopping’ but that’s okay too.

Just in case you wanted to know

I’ve even seen some of these

I guess not everyone wanted their mailbox to be the same as everyone else in the development so they started shopping around.   I honestly must admit that I hate it when I end up with the same thing someone else has.  I like my individuality to shine through even if it’s in a something as simple as mail boxes.

I’m sure you have been through those developments where every single house looks similar and then they all have to have the same Mailboxes. I call those ‘cookie cutter developments’ because everything basically looks the same.  It’s hard to stand out in a crown when you’re all dressed the same.  Well the same is true for your home.  Mine has to be as individual as I am.  Well some have said that I’m just plain old ‘weird’ but I like ‘unique’ better, don’t you?  I’m not like everyone else and I want my surroundings to reflect that.
