GRANDBABIES ...

Hello all ~~~ Billy & I went down to his mother's in Livingston this past weekend, then drove on down to Nate's in Groves Saturday night. We had a really good visit. His mother & I get along quite well so far. That's comforting.

Nate, Britt & little Evan are doing good. Evan is garden such a precious little boy. He's 4 months old now & already weighs 18 lbs! He's a strong good looking little fella. We really enjoyed getting to spend some time with them as a family.

Nate & I were able to have a heart to heart talk about all that's going on in my life these days. Nate's a pretty good judge of character & liked Billy from the first handshake. That made me feel good. They have moved since I last saw them. They have a wonderful little apartment that overlooks a golf course. People pay big money for a location like they have. They got it at a steal. I'm really proud of how they are doing.

Sunday night we came home & Amanda also invited us over for supper. I cannot say I'm as proud of them. James still does not work, but Amanda does. He stays home & plays house-husband. I don't like that, but it works for them I suppose. She's turned into quite a good cook. Seeing her two sons was also nice. We got to see all 3 grandsons this weekend. That did my heart good.

But when we got home, we were told Boomer, my service dog, had been missing for 2 hours. the boys had already given up searching for him. I was livid! To make a long story short, I imagined all the worsed things possible happening to my dog. At 9:30 pm, we had to give up the search as it was too dark. Going home without him devastated my spirit. But at 2 am, we got a call from Jeremy. They found Boo trapped under their house, & he had started making a terrible racket trying to get out & Jeremy had just happened to be awake & in the shed outside. We went & picked him up right then, much to my relief. He was missing a total of 12 hours. I had even called & reported him missing to the sherriff's department. I'm so glad to have my dog back. He's my buddy of 8 ;years now & a service animal. I vowed to never again leave my pal behind with the boys.

Bryan never even apologized for neglecting to watch my dog & losing him. They didn't even call us when he went missing. I got pretty pissed about the situation & the fact that Bryan never even acknowledged what he had done, nor helped look for him after we got home. Now he thinks I owe HIM an apology for yelling that he owed ME an apology for losing my dog. (that was before Jeremy found him) So right now there is some tension between us, which bothers me a lot. He got really smart with Billy too, so their on the outs too.

I've ridden some. I've been pretty busy lately & it's too hot up in the day to ride. But I do get some riding in during the cool mornings. I still cherish my Jubilee & Mama horse.

Things are pretty amicable with Ronnie & me right now. We only talk when we have too. He's about to have to put his mother in a nursing home, which is very hard for him. He's worked for 2 years trying to avoid that situation, & in the process, it's also part of what has cost him a marriage. Sad ordeal. NOW he puts her in a home, AFTER it's too late for us. We've filed for divorce finally. It'll be final around Thanksgiving.

I've been getting some dental work done while I still have Ron's insurance. I went today to get another filling. And I'm to go back Sept. 19th to have 4 more small one's done all at once.

All in all, things are going well. Billy & I are discussing having a wedding in April. Yea I know. Not even divorced yet & already talking about re-marriage. Billy's & my relationship has been 30 yrs in the making though. I'm confident about it.

that's about all the news for now. Gotta go finish supper. HOpe all's well with everyone.

How to Decide on a New Interior Door Discovering

2008-08-04T10:29:55Z

How to Decide on a New Interior Door Discovering that perfect interior door sometimes doesn't begin with its China doors design or raw material, but with a decision as simple as whether the door needs to be painted or stained. If the theme of your home and decor call for something a bit more traditional, then consider a wood panel door or French door; both of which come in an endless assortment of wood species to compliment any environment. If it's a painted look you're leaning towards, a broad collection of molded panel, flush, or crown doors are the most commonly preferred for paint application. The style of your new interior door is next on the list and allows for a wide, open range of designs to match your home or assist that new renovation. The proper style can be the difference between traditional or contemporary, rustic or craftsman, elegant or chic; the perfect door will assist and enhance the look and feel of your home's decor. With your desired style in mind, you will next need to select a material to match your individual design, performance, and aesthetic needs. This decision can come from the selection of a wood panel, molded panel, wood flush, wood louver, or wood French door. Finally, choose your door's construction. Wood panel and wood French doors feature a solid, stile, and rail construction, whereas a molded panel or flush door allows you to select either a solid or hollow core construction. If you do end up selecting a solid core door, it is worth nothing that they provide the heft and feel of a solid wood door and greatly muffle sound transmission for a little added privacy. Take a step back and consider the goals of your new interior door. By melding all of the variables together, you will ultimately produce the best results for you and your home.

Feng Shui And Your Home Interior Design

Feng Shui And Your Home Interior Design

Feng Shui, when relating to home design, is a topic that is gaining more Interior Doors momentum and is becoming more well known in Western society.

Centuries, or in fact thousands of years ago, Feng Shui was known only to the wealthiest and most powerful of Chinese families, including emperors and empresses of China. The royal families used the concept of Feng Shui to influence the harmony and prosperity of their palaces and homes.

In the modern day, as a result of this knowledge becoming known among the rest of Asia, and now in the West including Europe and the US, these principles are now being embraced, regardless of their cultural background.

See, the principles of Feng Shui are based on the concept of 'chi' or energy. And since we are all energy, it is believed that the energy from environmental forces have an effect on our lives. So how does this affect our choice of homes, and our homes designs?

Well, there are several points to keep in mind when it comes to choosing your home or home design:

Tip 1

Firstly, Feng Shui is used to analyse land forms surrounding the home to determine whether the energy or 'chi' surrounding the home is favourable or not.

This includes locations of hills and mountains, water and certain man-made objects around the house. While this is not the actual house design itself, it is considered to have an important impact from a Feng Shui perspective. If you're looking for a new home or land to build a new home, then this will be especially relevant.

Tip 2

Secondly, there is the environment immediately surrounding the home, and visible from the home to consider.

These include what is visible while standing looking out from your front door, and the area immediately surrounding the house. If you're looking to build or looking for a new home, then you can either learn more about this topic or hire a Feng Shui practitioner to assess the property for you.

Tip 3

Thirdly, comes the interior of the home.

There are many considerations for your home interior, including the location of stairs in the home, the location of the bedroom and kitchen, the shapes of the rooms and height of the ceilings and the location of water in the home, including the bathrooms and ponds.

You can learn more from a book, online courses or from a practitioner to find out the details about how to assess a potential new home, and to screen it from a Feng Shui perspective.

In conclusion, these are the 3 areas to be aware of when assessing any home from a Feng Shui point of view. You can learn it yourself, or you can use a practitioner to help you assess a home if you're new. Feng Shui is just one of the tools that you can apply when assessing a potential new home.

Year Round Decorating Ideas For The Front Door

2008-07-22T14:17:12Z

Year Round Decorating Ideas For The Front Door

The front door of your home is the first thing that visitors will see. You can make a good impression on your guests and visitors by adding some special decorative touches to this area. These decor accents do not have to be elaborate or expensive. Many times just one or two specially selected pieces will go a long way. By decorating the front doorway area you can lend a nice touch to your home, and make your guests feel especially welcomed. Here are some ideas for making the most of your decorating area with ideas to give special pizzaz to your front door.

Hang door garland. This can be in any theme and will cover a large amount of space on the front door. Make sure you choose something that will be relatively weather resistant, and will not fade easily. A garland of fall colored leaves would make a wonderful autumn design. For Christmas, holly or poinsettias could be used to make a similar garland.

Display a large wreath or other floral display with the use of an over-the-door wreath hanger. Try making your own wreath out of natural materials like pine cones. This can be easily accomplished by using a glue gun and adding some decorative floral picks. I usually make my own Christmas wreath by using a pre-made wreath shape, and adding Christmas floral picks or handmade bows. I purchase these inexpensively from the Dollar Store.

Add a door knob hanger. This could be as elaborate as a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece, or as simple as a colored ribbon with bells attached. For seasonal themes, a strand of dried corn or even small fall leaves would make a nice hanger. Snowman and poinsettias would be fun ideas for Christmas or Winter.

Seasonal door decorations are a fun way to decorate the front door. For autumn you could use a fall themed wreath with apples, fall leaves, even tiny pumpkins. Thanksgiving ideas include the cornucopia or dried corn. For the past couple of years, I have used a heavy wrapping paper to “wrap” my front door to look like a present. I usually use a bright red foil paper, then add a handmade wreath.

How to Buy a Home with Good Feng Shui

How to Buy a Home with Good Feng Shui

Buying a home is usually a stressful experience. So much rides on a new home because this is where you relax, have fun, sleep, eat; in short, it’s the place central to your life. Not only that, but homes usually cost a whole lot of money and represent our single largest investment. Most homebuyers can usually find the objective requirements of house hunting, such as location, size, and price. But, there are also intangible factors when searching for a new home, but most people don’t know what to look for.

Helping you find the flaws
This is where feng shui comes in. Using feng shui, you’ll be able to spot the problems –or the potential -- in a house that exist outside of the objective requirements of number of bedrooms, amount of storage, etc. These are features that you might not notice, and a realtor will seldom, if ever, point out to you. But, with this checklist, you can at least feel more confident about your decision to go with a particular property.

Look at the space with “feng shui eyes”
When you are looking at a house – or any space for that matter – and considering whether to buy it, it helps to look at it with “feng shui eyes.” You will want to do this once you have considered all the other objective aspects of the house, such as square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, living areas, location, price, etc.

The next step is to run down a checklist of the subjective feng shui considerations that will help you make a feng shui assessment. Even if you aren’t house hunting, this list can give you some important information that might be very revealing about the house you are already in!

The list below provides some of the more serious feng shui problems.

Exterior
?Street: Is house at the end of a cul-de-sac, dead end or T-junction?
?Topography. Is the lot sloped away at the back? Avoid yards that slope down toward the rear. Select home with a rise at the rear. Is house below street grade? This will make for a constant “uphill” struggle while you live here.
?Landscape. Is there a tree or pole directly in front of the front door? Dead trees or shrubs? Dead lawn?
?Garage. Is it ahead of the house or front door?
?Neighbors. Is this house smaller than houses on either side? Do neighbors’ houses have sharp angles pointing at this house or appear to overpower or dominate the house?
?Views & proximity. Can you see or is it close to church, temple or other house of worship? Can you see or is it close to funeral home, cemetery, hospital, police station, sewage treatment, abandoned building or run-down house?
?Water. Is water, lake, river, ocean at the back of house or too close to front?
?Lot. Regular or irregular-shaped? House sits too close to the front of lot? Does backyard fall away from the rear of the house?
?Paths. Driveway ends at house instead of garage? Walkways end straight at door?

Interior
?House style. Split, bi-level, or center hall colonial?
?Front. Front door lines up with back door? Does front door face stairway?
?Structure. Overhead or exposed beams? Ceilings too high or are they low and slanted? Skylights over sleeping areas or kitchen? Foundation cracks or problems? Serious plumbing or electrical problems?
?Entrance. Do you see toilet/bathroom door from the entrance? See the kitchen/stove from the front door? See the dining room from the front door? See the bedroom from front door?
?Toilets. Located in NW, SW, center, or corners of the house? Bedroom, dining area or kitchen located under or over toilet?
?Staircases. Spiral staircase? Staircase stops at front door? Split or scissor-style staircase?
?Hallways. Too long? Divide the house into two sections? Too dark?
?Bedrooms. Over garage? Over bathroom or laundry? Have empty space below, i.e., patio area? Is master bedroom too close to the front door?
?Fireplace. In the NW portion of the house? Is it in the Southeast (wealth) sector?
?Major locations. Problems with or missing sections in Northwest China doors (man), Southwest (woman), North (career), or Southeast (wealth)? Bathroom, laundry, kitchen in center of house?
?Odor. Smells musty, smoky, putrid?

Enlist a professional
Still not perfectly confident? Well, a home is a major purchase and we must always consider that important point. Most people take a used car to their mechanic before buying it — and its purchase isn’t as important as a house. So, if you’re still confused or just want to proceed with the sale in confidence, why not talk to a feng shui specialist about looking about the prospective house?

A professional feng shui consultant should be able to tell you what you can expect from this location, such as good financial or business opportunities. Or, maybe you’ll find out that buying this house means your China injection molding,laptop batteries health will suffer, you’ll discover an afflicted portion of the house, such as a toilet in the SW sector that can hurt your marriage. Give serious consideration to hiring a professional.

Fortunately, most problems have a feng shui fix
It’s important to know that every house has “feng shui flaws” and that no house is perfect. However, you should be aware of what you are buying so that you are knowledgeable about what kinds of problems might be associated with the house. The good news? Most feng shui flaws can be corrected.

Door Knocker Installation

2008-07-21T15:20:14Z

Door Knocker Installation

Installing a door knocker may seem like a simple project, but it seems that there are a few questions to be answered before getting started.

I just had one of the best laughs I have ever had. While watching one of my favorite TV shows, the main characters walked up to a house to knock on the door. I had to look twice but there it was, a beautiful little urn style door knocker not only mounted way to high on the door, but it was installed upside down. This situation required a very tall visitor to use a door knocker that probably could not generate enough knock to be effective.

Needless to say, knuckles were used instead.

This was a good laugh but it did expose a reality to a guy who sells door knockers for a living.

Door knockers are usually purchased that uses either surface mounting or through the door mounting.

Surface mounting would be the simplest. Screws pass through the body of the door knocker and into the door behind.

Through the door mounting as the name implies, uses bolts that pass through the door and screws into the door knocker to hold it in place.

The through the door method is a bit more complicated because holes must be drilled through the door to match the mounting points on the door knocker. To complicate matters many times the mounting bolts themselves must be cut to the proper length to match the width of the door.

If you are replacing an existing door knocker that uses through the door mounting you must find a new door knocker that uses the exact same bolt pattern, or, as it is properly called, bolt center as the previous one has.

The bolt center measurement is the exact distance from the center of one mounting bolt to the center of another mounting bolt.

If you purchase a replacement door knocker with a different bolt center dimension you will need to drill another hole through the door. The further problem is there will be an unused hole in the door that must be covered or filled.

It is usually preferable to find a replacement door knocker using the same bolt center dimension but this is not always possible. There is no standard and the bolt center is usually determined by the design of the door knocker itself.

And now what seems like the hundred thousand dollar question for door knocker installation. Where do I mount it on the door?

The pattern and design of the door itself Wood doors may dictate where the knocker is mounted. There always seems to be the lingering question of how high?

Once again there is no standard but logic should dictate that the average person should be able to reach the door knocker for it to be used. Even if you intend the knocker to be purely ornamental and not be used, it just does not look right if it is located way to high or low.

A typical height from the bottom of the door would be around 5 feet, or about eye level of an average person, give or take a bit to match the pattern of the door.

As a final thought, a door knocker really should be mounted on the door itself, not next to it. Once again if the knocker is there for purely ornamental reasons it may make little difference but if you are expecting results from it that is another case. The tap of the knocker will not resonate through the door jam or wall effectively enough to be heard well on the other side.

A door knocker is a wonderful inexpensive addition to your home that can add charm and warmth to your entrance. Once installed it should require little attention or maintenance for many years to come.

Doorknobs - They Should Be Appreciated

2008-07-21T15:20:00Z

Doorknobs - They Should Be Appreciated

Think about doorknobs for a brief moment. How many doorknobs did China injection molding,laptop batteries you touch today? How many different kinds of doorknobs did you encounter? I would be willing to bet that there are more than you ever realized.

Really! There are hundreds of styles, shapes, colors, and sizes of doorknobs. They are one of those things that most of us take for granted, but if you really sit back and think about the function of a doorknob... you may find yourself taken aback by its relevance to your everyday life.

Doorknobs, of course, are used to open doors. So, they are really an extension of the door itself. Without doors we would have no need for the knob part, right? So we can see that the invention of the doorknob has come from the idea of needing a door, a relatively flat piece of material on hinges made to partition one space from another.

Of course, some doors have no doorknob at all. For instance, those swinging doors you simply push to enter a store's back storage room or a restaurant's kitchen.

Doorknobs often go hand in hand with a door lock. To keep intruders out (or to keep prisoners and grounded teenagers in), you need a door - one that locks - and a way to unlock it for those privileged enough to be granted access through.

So the doorknob is really a piece of our everyday lives that we often take for granted. But let's go back to the variety of doorknobs. Have you thought of how many different ones you've encountered just today? There are so many styles, some are not even worthy of being called a "knob". The kind used to pull a door open shall not be named a knob; only those that rotate the locking mechanism inside the door jam in order to release and open the door.

So now we know the definition and function of a doorknob. If you are looking for a specific kind of doorknob for your home or business, or simply for collecting purposes, you probably already know how many variations are out there.

If you're searching for a doorknob to fulfill your home décor needs and you happen to have a country or antique style house, you may choose a crystal doorknob. If you're looking for something traditional but not so fancy, you may choose a dark metal doorknob.

Try to match the style of the house and the door you will be using the knob on. If you have a modern home, you may want to choose a very clean looking chrome or metallic doorknob.

If you have a typical, middle-class American home, built in the past few decades you probably have all matching interior doorknobs. Your neighbors probably have the same. You either have those brass ball knobs or the more recent brushed metal knobs that include a handle you just push down to open. (By the way, the latter are great for elderly folks, small children or people with wrist problems because they are easier to grasp than the ball style doorknobs.)

Whatever your style, the doorknob is definitely a necessity in today's modern society. Almost every structure or building has several doorknobs, so be sure to take an extra moment to appreciate them the next time you find yourself reaching down to open a door.

The Truth About Pet Doors for Patio Doors

2008-07-21T15:19:56Z

The Truth About Pet Doors for Patio Doors

When it comes to the flexibility of allowing your pet to enjoy the great outdoors, pet doors for patio doors make a convenient addition to any house. With a variety of styles, shapes, sizes and features, many consumers like the fuss-free installation that comes with the majority of models. Generally speaking, they cater to the needs of both the pet and the owner, as the hassle of constantly opening a door to the back yard for cats and dogs is eliminated, which saves time and effort.

In order to choose a pet door that will fit the correct China doors dimensions of a home (as well as personal preferences), it is important to recognize a variety of factors that come into play. A consumer will face a few decisionsInterior Doors in regards to the acquisition of a pet door. One of the most important things to consider is to find out the measurements to ensure the proper door is delivered. In addition to the height and length of the door, many other considerations exist. For example, the type of panels and panes becomes an issue. One may choose between dual pane panels, the less costly single pane glass panels, electronic panels and patio panels set aside for cats. There are also insulated options found in dual pane glass doors, which usually provides the best environment for saving effort. To test the type of glass associated with your patio door - open the slider and place your fingers on both sides of the glass. Single pane glass looks like that they are touching, while a dual pane glass places fingers about ½" apart.

Pet patio doors require either a temporary or semi-permanent installation, which often means whether or not tools are needed in the process. With a semi-permanent patio pet door, you may have to use hacksaws, drills and wrenches to make sure the patio panel is in place. Temporary models allow the panel pet door to be removed at the homeowner's pleasure. For example, the panel can be used during warm days only. When the weather turns cold, the panel can be conveniently and quickly removed, whereas a semi-permanent option is attached into the track with sheet metal screws.

Another issue to consider is the 'rise' of the patio pet door, which shows the height of the flap that pets will enter and exit through. Keep in mind that a German Shepherd and a Pomeranian will not use the same rise so it is not necessary to purchase the biggest flaps in all cases. To gain more flexibility over this aspect, purchasing one with a user-adjustable rise is recommended.

The installation of patio pet doors is quite fuss-free, as most people simply install the panel against the sliding door jamb. Others may choose an outside screen track, which utilizes a 'spring-load' type of mechanism. The median cost of them include $120 for a small single panel; $325 for a medium dual pane insulated glass; $120 for the smaller specialized cat flap panel; and $260 for a small electronic door.

Benefits

Pet doors for patio doors allow a pet to enter the comfort of their home when they feel scared or to hide from the chill when a change in weather arises. The freedom associated with this type of product is great for both the pet and pet owner. They also blend with the majority of patios with attractive colors, such as white, bronze, black and aluminum satin.
