the bugs of summer & my new door!

We had a great, productive weekend.


Friday night we went to Menards to purchase supplies for the installation of the new patio door. I personally love Menards and always find some sort of a treasure while I'm there. During this trip I picked up a $30 Taste of Home cookbook for $2. : ) After shopping we met up with some friends to visit and "pregame" before a town festival. D and I had homework and housework to do, so we didn't go to the festival, instead we picked up sushi (yum) and headed home to get down to business.

Saturday morning we were up bright and early. The weatherman predicted a blazing 90 degree day so we wanted to get to work early to avoid the heat. A trip to the dump, cinnamon roles, and dear, generous friends arrival meant we were ready to go! This is what the process looked like...
















Window treatments to come soon! Saturday evening we had s'mores and (much needed) cocktails with our neighbors around the firepit. Holy Moly! Did the mosquitoes looove me! I am covered. Anyone got a good remedy for bug bites? These suckers are literally keeping me up at night.


Sunday was a day of rest and relaxation. We picked up the house, ate, and caught up on tv until...D's uncle and cousin arrived to fish! D, his uncle, and cousin ate dinner and then headed out to the reservoir to fish. Based on the empty cooler...I'd say they had a nice time ; )


We had a great weekend. This week holds projects and decorating and another fun upcoming weekend.

Although the old one looks good, I like the new one better. It looks modern and simple, yet very elegant. And the glass door will let the natural light inside your house which will lit up the space.

You got a point, Keven. Aside from letting natural light in, it would also help you save energy; which is good since the whole structure was heavily walled.
