With mom out of the house today, dad spent the day outside and I tackled a few projects inside. For him, part of what he did involved installing the sun shade he bought recently; this went over the little stage deck in the corner of the yard. However, with the initial installation, he realized it didn't work properly; it hung too low and was ( Read more... )

My father had the day off, so he finally hung the new blinds in the master bedroom.

The birds have returned to the tree in front of the house; those include mourning doves, robins, and some sort of black bird I've yet to identify because I'm lazy. Also, the geese are attempting to infiltrate the neighborhood again, but ( Read more... )

My mother, who has enough stuff in her bathroom to start her own cosmetics business, partially cleaned up my bathroom and threw away some stuff I had on the side of my tub. Mind you, it's all stuff I've used in the past couple of months, unlike about 90% of the crap cohabiting in her bathroom ( Read more... )
