Flowers, flowers, and flowers we did plant! My mom came to visit from NC and we headed to Lowe’s to buy some pretty plants. It was so much fun to visit with her and have her all to myself…no offense to Heather, Kyson, or Sayla :-) We spent a lot of time chatting in our living room seated on mix-match furniture, but she’s my mom so she didn’t mind. On Saturday morning, we found a new friend/employee at Lowe’s that was equipped with a mark-down gun in hand. She willingly put $1 stickers on almost all the plants we purchased, even when the original price was set at $4-$6. It was great let me tell you. Mom and I picked up a few lights for the kitchen, some tile, and window treatments while there as well. (All those things are still in the closet though, except for the tile). Most of the day Saturday was spent playing in the dirt and the yard looks oh-so-good. We even did a little raking and tree trimming in the background….notice I didn’t mention anything about cutting the grass. I am pretty sure our neighbors are getting frustrated with the jungle that is growing in the backyard. Oh well…it will continue to grow until we get to cutting it. Steven worked on the house all weekend and finished putting the baseboards and crown molding up in the kitchen. He also continued some wiring projects and work on the cabinets. Yes…he had to re-hang some cabinets that fell off when we put the handles on…silly right? The weekend was great and I truly enjoyed mom’s company. Thanks so much for the visit! I even put the fourth coat of paint on the cabinets in the kitchen after mom left and had some time to catch up on laundry before the weekend was over. Oh yeah…Steven also finished the gas lines for the stove so we had a fully functioning kitchen this weekend. It was nice to cook a few meals for mom while she was here.
