Rudolph Day Again

I didn't realize it's Rudolph day until late this morning. I still managed to get some Christmas stuff done. I made a gift order, wrapped the remaining gifts I already have while listening to Christmas music, and updated my gift list. I also just added another gift to my Amazon cart for later. I'm going to write out a couple of gift ideas on the master gift list. That's about all I have time for today, but it's something.

New Stairs

The new front stairs are finally done. You can go back in the blog to see the ugly old concrete stairs that were there. They were sinking on one side and they were about 4 inches away from the house. We have to stain all the wood parts, but they look much nicer than what was there. We're going to do some planting around it and finish it off. Possibly tonight, since it's the only nice day we have this week.

Slipcover

I had some trouble with the new Summer slipcover pulling up in the front so I ordered a new one from Surefit. I have a Surefit one for the Winter and it fits great and stays tucked pretty well. The new cover is the same style and fabric so I hope it works better than the cheap one I got at Walmart. It's on for a few weeks before Fall cleaning and the change over happens.
