We also have been enjoying our contribution to aide the struggling California economy, which is a 42 inch plasma television. We have been long overdue for a new set and we went all out for this one. It is a far cry back from our 20 inch that I bought from my Hy-Vee money when working in Ankeny the summer before PT school. We're not sure what we are going to do with the old set, but we will figure something out. We still like Nick's 13 inch from college in our bedroom, so that will stay put.
In other activities, I cleaned out our backyard flower beds as they were pretty hideous. I probably won't be planting much of anything in there, as it will be getting way too hot for anything to survive. I may plant a few succulents and a few other drought resistant ground cover plants. The yard still needs a lot of work on our hill and it the front yard. More hot weekends ahead too!
Nick had some fun over the weekend with some PVC pipe. He built Sierra a stand for her food and water dish in order to help decrease the amount of food, water and slobber on the floor. We are ever so conscious of this since we installed the new floor. She's still a pretty messy eater, but this helps at least a little.
That's all for now...vacation is so close!
