Well, add us to those spending money on repairs. We've had several strong wind storms this winter. One of them picked up our gas grill & trashed it. So we were planning to get a new one soon. Last week after a very slightly windy day, the siding trim came loose on one side of the house. So getting that repaired. DH noticed the TV was slow to start up this weekend. Didn't think too much of it, it's only 6 years old & we haven't had any other problems with it. Yep, it died yesterday. Totally dead. Unfortunately, we are TV people.

So we spent last night @
Best Buy. DH got his dream: 50 inch HD with surround sound. It has 3 D but we probably won't use that anytime soon.
Of course, just a few weeks ago DH made a list of projects we want to do : new fridge; new furnace & central air (don't currently have air conditioning); take the huge tree down in the yard; new landscaping in front. Family room needs new carpet & furniture too. Guess we'll have to prioritize which to do this year & which to delay. Plus we're planning to redo the 1/2 bath on DH's Sept vacation. Owning a home is great, isn't it?
