Well, we had a productive day today. I'm tired and sore, as usual on Sunday night, but it's so good to have this feeling of accomplishment.
Kevin mowed this morning, and I worked hard cleaning the old couch. I used upholstery cleaner, then scrubbed, then vacuumed, then Febreezed. As it air dried, we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to find a cover for it. I wasn't hopeful, but thought it was worth a shot. We were successful, after all!
The front and side bank is real hard to mow here. We're planning out different ideas to remedy the situation. Use the tractor and blade to make the hill less steep, but lose some yard...that's a thought. Put up a retaining wall and fill it in...that's too expensive. Ground cover? Maybe. We're still thinking about it, but ground cover is winning so far.
Bed Bath and Beyond didn't let me down. I got a cover for the couch, a tablecloth in the right color (WalMart doesn't have it) and some kind of a brush to get loose hair off the cats. We ate at Fazoli's (can't leave home without a meal out, right? <eg>)
All in all, a productive day. There was more I planned to do, but the storm got here too soon. Maybe this week, in the evenings, I'll do some more....yeah right. I'm always so tired in the evenings. I'll make a real effort, though.

Wow, what a transformation of the couch. Good job. And....I really enjoyed your storm's a brewing pics. That was great to look at. I suppose those are clouds from Arlene? They passed thru here and dumped quite a bit of rain.
I think I might have been in Bed, Bath and Beyond once in my life. I think I was with you and Kevin's sister at the time.
I have never been to Bed and Bath. So what color are your rooms going to be? Details!!! OMG I threw that couch away! How did you get it!? Aren't their bread sticks great!
