Towels June 17, 2010

It is very difficult to decide what to give Leroy as a gift.  He never asks for anything and is always content with whatever little silly thing we find.  Keeping this in mind, you’ll understand my excitement when he asked me to bring him a towel from my bathroom because his cabinet was empty.  A towel would never constitute a “gift” in my eyes, but with Leroy’s simplistic attitude, he would appreciate opening his cabinet and having clean, dry towels ready for the taking.  I’m pretty good at keeping up with the laundry, but I think some of his towels have been taken out of the house and lost along the way.

I purchased 7 new towels for Leroy for Father’s Day.  They have matching colors so it will be obvious where they belong then the laundry is being put away.  I know it’s simple, but they are sure to bring a smile to his face.

 

Fashion Show April 24, 2010

Not very many people in the world get to watch a fashion show with their husband and son as models.  As a part of the BASH events (see post from 4/23/10) CCHS held a luncheon and fashion show today.  Many students participated including several seniors with their parents and/or siblings.  Steel wasn’t sure he wanted to do it since he’s stuck on crutches, but with some kind encouragement from the coordinators, he jumped in and had a great time.  I was VERY impressed with the quality of the production and just how entertaining it was.  Each “act” told a story. Of course I got very choked up when my husband and son walked the cat-walk to the song “Beautiful Boy.”  Another priceless memory.

I really don’t enjoy doing portrait work but when this opportunity came up I couldn’t resist.  The staff at Leroy’s office needed new head shots for the their website and the office manager asked if I would do them.  It’s not my favorite, but I was anxious to meet all of the people that Leroy works with so I agreed.  After a tour of the facility looking for the perfect location, we found a wall near a window that worked great.  It was nice to finally put a face with the name.  Leroy has had a great experience with these people at his new job.

 

New Faucet February 12, 2010

I got the brilliant idea a few days ago to complain about my kitchen faucet on Facebook.  I’ve been asking for a replacement faucet for a few months.  We have very hard water here and it damages the faucets.  They become so corroded that the water flow is really reduced and that is what has happened here.  It takes forever to fill a pot and makes cleaning dishes and the sink a real chore.  Leroy joked that you could make a sandwich in the time it took to fill the water pitcher.  My hope was that a little peer-cyber-pressure would push Leroy into finally taking the time to replace it.  Much to my surprise… today was the day.  Leroy came home from work with a new Moen faucet and had it installed (properly) in a matter of minutes.  I am a lucky girl.  This is quite possibly the best Valentine’s Day present I’ve ever received.  I can’t stop playing with it.
