Weekend Project

Our project for this weekend is scrubbing, touching up and resealing our kitchen floor. We need to do this about once a year and we were overdue on the project this year. This was a good weekend  to do it because Daniel and Magen have gone out of town to visit some of Magen's relatives so there are fewer people in the house that will need to be getting in the kitchen. We have finished the work and now all we have to do is let it dry. Hopefully, we will be able to keep Byron off the floor until it dries. He has already tried to get his little paws in there. Here are some pictures of Forrest at work:

Daniel & Magen Cook!

Yesterday, Daniel and I went to Whole Foods and got the ingredients and Daniel and Magen cooked last night- a delicious fondue dinner. When Daniel and Magen were in France, they had fondue and loved it, so they have been promising to make it for us and last night was the night! Here are some photos of the fantastic fondue:

Aldridge Botanical Gardens

Forrest & I were looking for somewhere different to walk so we decided to travel to Aldridge Botanical Gardens today (not much of a trip actually, since Aldridge Gardens is in Hoover which is where we live). It is beautiful there. They are well known for their hydrangeas which are past their peak blooming season, but many of them are still very pretty. Here are some photos of what we saw there:

New iPhone Software

I don't have the new G3 iPhone, but I did get an iPhone last Christmas and I downloaded the new software for it that was made available yesterday. You can download applications to the iPhone now and there are lots of really great things that you can get and lots of them are free. I got one called Pandora Radio that allows you to basically create your own radio station that plays your favorite music whenever and wherever  you want. Another one turns your iPhone into a remote control for itunes on your computer. I am still exploring the options available and having lots of fun doing it.

New Look For The Blog

Daniel has been teaching me today how to change the look of my blog. Now I have a custom background instead of just one of the templates that blogger lets you choose from. I worked on it, but I certainly can't take all of the credit because I would never have figured it out without Daniel's help. So, THANK YOU DANIEL!!!
