This COOL Old House

Well I had to break down and get central air installed this past week. We have only had about 5 REAL hot days and I couldn't take it. I had Fry's in Millerton do the work. They also installed my furnace. I got to thinking, either my ancestors were real tough or I am a real wimp. They lived there for 80 or so years without air and I don't even live there a year and I have to get air. I will say that it has felt WONDERFUL in just the past few days that I have had it.



I also went ahead and planted some bushes at the end of the week in my beds that are along the south side of my house and also some willow bushes on the west side. I did my shopping at Ogle's Greenhouse in Albia. They had a very good selection and were very helpful. It's nothing fancy but it will look nice next spring when they are flowering.




My Mom and I also went to the grand opening of The Rustic Star in Chariton this weekend. It is a VERY cool home decor store. I ended up bringing a couple things home with me and I plan on going back. If you are ever in Chariton, you need to check it out. It is west of the square, right before you get to the new Dollar General store. The website to The Rustic Star is www.rustic-star.com

Some of the upcoming projects of the next couple weeks are getting my upstairs floors finished and HOPEFULLY measuring for my office cabinets. The projects never stop :).
