Relaxing????

A few years ago my My Wonderful Man and I bought a beach place by Chincoteague Island, VA. Nothing to extravagant, just place to go and clear our heads and RELAX. Well that was the plan and for the most part it is very relaxing, a place where I get back to Tracy, not the mom of sons 1, 2, and 3.

So I saw a friend had put down the cutest little patio, not stones that you buy but she made them.. Ah make them.. that sounded wonderful.. So last weekend My Wonderful Man and I took the three hour drive down to the beach place to relax and get some work done. It just so happened that we had a heat wave maxing out at 104 degrees..

After mixing the cement and almost passing out, this is what I ended up with.Yes the hole in the middle is not centered. I moved the stones around after I passed out from the heat. my next trip down I am going to paint the fire ring with black super heat resistant paint and then add the sand. I think its going to be pretty cute. More pictures to come.

While I was mixing cement My Wonderful Man was building me a swing set for your easy chairs. Doesnt that sound relaxing, Easy Chairs. I think they turned out pretty nice.

Whatta think?

Until next time...

seriosly, I'm saving how much????

Last year my Wonderful Man started his own business, Dirty Ducts and More. He cleans air ducts, dryer vents and adds insulation. "Yeah yeah yeah, we are in a recession, who has the money for that extra?" (Oh no, here we go.)

In an effort to train his workers, Son 1 and Son 2, he put insulation in our attic and an attic fan. Again I thought whatever. It was winter, freezing outside, what a waste of money... Like we can afford all of that, didn’t I just say we are in a recession?

Well, spring came and the days got hotter and hotter and hotter. Just recently it has been almost unbearable at 103 degrees. In Delaware People!!!

Normally my upstairs is 10 degrees hotter or colder then the down. NOPE not now.. Even in 103 Degrees…. Nope, it just isn’t. How can this be? Did my Wonderful Man have something?
Was he “right”.
(Ugh, that was as hard to type as it was for Fonzie to say he was wrrrooonnnng)

Yesterday I opened the mail from the electric company; it was time to reassess my year budget plan. I am now saving $144.00 big ones every month. That is $1728 a year. Holy Crap!!! Do you know what I can do with $1728?

So to my Wonderful Man, I love you!!

If you live in the Delaware area and would like to spend as much money as I am going to, take a look at what my Wonderful Man can do.
