After a heavy, wet snowfall last winter when Belle and I had out of town guests over for the baby shower of our oldest son, Ryan, and his wife, Jen, it took four of us several hours to dig out our portion of our long, shared driveway. With another grandchild on the way, moving to Florida is out of the question; we don’t want to do this again, and since hiring a snow removal service may be costly and sometimes become backlogged in severe weather, we decide to purchase a snowblower.

By Juan C. Ayllon For many, coming out of a long, cold winter's thaw, springtime is a great time to spruce things up and make some fresh, new changes. And, for our household, we're no different.
Last year, we shoveled truckloads of river rock around several sides of our home, repainted our deck and replaced our living room furniture, and now, in our ongoing efforts to make our home more comfy, Belle and I are redecorating and simplifying our family room (which serves as our listening and media space) in search of a cleaner, more modern aesthetic. For all the 'Top Gun' and Legos fans, this one's for you! An amazing recreation of the Top Gun Maverick film trailer constructed with the popular childhood building block toy, Legos, will astound and dazzle you. Unbelievable!
Happy Friday! |
