South Central was a ghost town on the Fourth of July. Freaky. I don’t think I saw one person on the cul-de-sac until late afternoon. Is there some sort of Fourth of July activity in the Village Center we don’t know about yet? Are they all at their summer homes? Are they all watching Revolutionary Documentaries on The History Channel? […]
So I decided to SHOP WILMETTE and bypass the Lowes for my sprinkler needs. I ended up at my trusted ACE Hardware on Wilmette Avenue, just west of Green Bay Road. I realized quickly that there are many types of sprinklers – stationary, rotary, oscillating, pulsating or impulse and traveling. I’m not sure which one I bought; but it was […]
To all my loyal blog readers, I apologize for not updating this site for nearly 2 months. It’s been a crazy few weeks. I had to join the community pool. For some reason, we needed our birth certificates to join the pool. Apparently, my son is too cute and people do not believe that he is mine. We also had […]
I had wine yesterday evening with a few moms of the neighborhood as we watched our children frolic up and down the sidewalk enjoying the South Central sunset.
Went into the city last night for an anniversary dinner at Nacional 27. Loved it. I highly recommend it. I am hoping my friend and colleague who runs the Read It and Eat blog dines there soon and gives it a worthier review than this. Here’s a brief description from the site. Really seems like quite the scene. We had […]
Went to Lowes last night and bought an umbrella and umbrella base for the patio table we bought off the previous owners of the house. I hope it matches.
We were able to get two couples from the city to come up to South Central and enjoy the patio and back yard last weekend. The weather is key. If you are a dedicated reader of this blog (I know I have at least one), you recall that trying to have a party here in February was a challenge. Although […]
The hose was a solid investment. I used it today to clean our patio furniture and cool down the dog. Still haven’t figured out how else to use the hose, though, but I’m sure I’ll think of something. Our landscaper may use it at some point, I suppose.
I love my in-laws. They were in town last week and completed our house upgrades to-do list made up of several little things that I may have been able to handle, but probably not.
I bought a garden hose this weekend and a mobile hose winder-upper. The only reason I bought a hose is to spray off the dirty lawn furniture we bought from the previous owners. I suppose I may have to water the lawn in the summer, too. Not sure if the lawn service does that or not. I guess I’ll find […]
