Weekend Get Away

We house sat for my parents this weekend. Which meant we got to lay by the pool and feed the dogs. We slept in Saturday morning and didn't even make it down there until 1:30. Kev forgot his swim trunks, so we had to stop by Old Navy and pick up a pair. We thought about trying to get to the lake, but decided not to since my brother had a boat full already.

I spent the afternoon floating on a raft in the pool, while Kev napped inside. We went to an early dinner at Fisherman's Wharf. It was yummy and we got to sit at a table right on the lake. There were lots of ducks and geese wanting food. They had feeding dispensers set up along the rail. There were a couple if babies. They were adorable. 
Sunday, we got up, ate breakfast, and packed the ice chest. It was pretty cloudy but it was nice and cool outside. After the 100 degree temperatures last week clouds and cool air felt wonderful.
We spent the day on Lake Ouachita. My brother went out with us for a couple of hours, then we had the rest of the afternoon to ourselves. I squeezed in a little nap There's nothing like floating on the lake. 
I was nice to get away and enjoy the lake.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

House Exteriors

 I spend most of my free time these days staring at the freaking computer looking for ideas for our house. There is a site Houzz . It's my new addiction. If you haven't ever explored it check it out. You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
