As I arrived home the other day, my wife informed me that the slow leak in the sink had turned into a major gusher. Even though I was very tired, I knew I had to take a look. After removing all the items from under the sink, (which is something my wife should have done) I took a look at the problem.

The problem was that one of the nuts had come loose. I ran to the garage and found the proper tool. I fixed the problem in no time and called it a day.

P.S. I had my wife put the items back under the sink

Since the weather has been cooperating lately, we have been taking advantage of the time to fix up the house. We have managed to do a lot of work outside of the home and have gotten the yard in tip-top shape. I have weeded the gardens while my wife has been planning the overall effect of the house from the street. She has become an artist in a sense.

One thing she did was to add some window boxes to our home. We planted some small flowers under the windows to make our home more attractive. There is something about a windowbox that makes a house into a home. It looks good from the street and it makes me glad to come home to such an uplifting sight after a long days work.

She also did some work in the back of the house. She added flower boxes to enhance the overall look of the garden area. While we have many plants already, there can never be enough. I think it looks great and I am glad that I have a wife who knows how to dress up a house. She has a special talent for that sort of thing. I know that everyone will enjoy the flowers when springtime comes. I know I will.

One thing in life that is very wonderful is pets. We have two cats that we love very much. One of them is named Isis, and the other ones name is Ziggy. Ziggy is a very odd fellow and we all love to watch his eccentric ways. He is a real oddball.

Whenever I open the door to the garage, he runs out to the cement and flips on his back. He then proceeds to wiggle back and forth and it is a site to see. I guess a good back-scratching is necessary for him from time to time. I hope he enjoys it.

Driving at night is one thing that I have trouble with. My eyes are not what they used to be and it can be difficult to see. This is especially true when bright lights shine in my eyes. Luckily, I am familiar with most of the roads in my neighborhood, but there are times when I really need to read road signs or other markings such as residential address plaques. It is fortunate that there is a way to negate this situation.

A friend of mine invited us over to his house for dinner. We were running a little late and so night had fallen. Since I was driving, I found myself in the same old situation where I was having trouble seeing. Fortunately for us, my friend had the foresight to have custom address plaques made for his home. This made his house stand out from the crowd and I was able to find it easily.

I believe that everyone should do the same as my smart friend and take advantage of personalized address plaques to make their properties stand out. It will help others find your place when visibility is poor. It is little things like this that life easier for everyone and I say that is a good thing for all.

As always I hate to admit that there were some presents I received that were not wanted. I never have the heart to tell the ones I love that the gift that they gave me is either unneeded or just plain lame. It is always a conundrum for me. The problem is that I hate to see their gift go to waste.

I have managed to return some of the gifts without anyone knowing about it. This is good as I have kept the peace in the family. The bad part is that I still have a few gifts that I don’t know what to do with. I guess I’ll figure it out in the end.
