June 24, 2012 A couple of things to make us happy

It's the little things in life that can make you very happy........Just look for those little things, and  you will be happy too!! Today I found 2 of those little happy things!!

There has been frequent talk of how long it stays light around here and even though we have been warned that one day the dark will dominate instead of the light, for now it would be nice to not be blinded when waking up during the "night" hours.  So we figured out a solution.  Not sure why it took us 1 month, 13 days and 15.5 hours to think of this, but who's countingn anyway???

The curtains in the living room are red and the curtains in the bedroom are beige.  We want less light in the bedroom and more light in the living room (remember the post about Lewis' new office? He needs lots of light to get his job done right!!).  So we swapped curtains between the two rooms.  Would it work?  It worked pretty good.....here are some pictures with lamps on and with lamps off in each room at 11pm.  See I told you it stays light outside for a long time!!
What do you think?  Good decision?

Bedroom -



Now for the second -

It has been a trial and error process to find a good dish washing soap.  One that stays bubbly and cuts the grease!!  Ta Da......third times a charm and it looks like the "good fairy" has made dishwashing a pleasant job!!

  4. I kind of miss my German widows that open like yours - easy to clean. We had blinds that were built right in the windows (black out windows), when we close them at night and lights out, oh boy you couldn't see a thing, I even cut my head open one night from hitting the door frame, but boy that make it nice to sleep.
