Well, we’ve finally decided that this is the year to give the house a face lift.  We already have some really good vinyl siding that will look great again once we power wash it this spring.  I’m talking about getting new shutters for the house.  This house doesn’t have any shutters at all; and I think that it simply looks too stark without them.  I don’t know if there were shutters on the house before the vinyl siding was installed or not, but I think that a house without shutters just looks unfinished and “cold.”  So, I am starting to look around at other houses in the area to get some ideas of what looks good on different houses.  I’m planning to buy our shutters from the larsonshutter.com website; they have a great selection of styles and colors and hardware too!

I don’t understand why it is that as soon as I discover a product that I absolutely LOVE, the stores stop carrying it!  I really did not think that my tastes were all that “weird” and yet it seems that the stores can’t make the profit they need by carrying the products that I LOVE!  Or maybe it’s the manufacturer.  I don’t know, but it is very discouraging to look for a long time for something that’s “just right” and then shortly after I find it, it disappears from the shelves.  Case in point – Hershey’s decaffeinated hot chocolate mix called “Goodnight Kisses.”  I LOVE it, but can’t find it anywhere anymore.  I’ve even gone online to the Hershey’s website to see if they even make it any more, and it seems that they do, so I don’t understand why I can’t find it in the stores!  I did discover that I can buy it over the Internet, but I don’t want to pay the shipping fees!  Oh poor me!
