I wish every Friday night my husband would play his acoustic guitar while I read a book and listen.

I joined a 52books club where we read a book a week. I have been keeping up rather well. We share our book list online at a yahoo group.
We have an addition to the house that has different siding on it and it looks terrible. It is in the back yard between the breeze way of the house and the garage. The area is fenced and the dogs have access to this area at all times. Steve and I were talking about adding a decorated wall. We have two decorative posts from an old fireplace that was torn out and we purchased a mantel for this. We will attach this to the house and then do a treatment using paintings and colored glass to decorate the top. On the mantel we will put bird house that my husband has gotten over the years. This is mostly a private area so won’t be seen by many neighbors.
