Tidy Up Around the House

It's summer, so if you were thinking about spring cleaning, you're a little late. But any time is a good time to spruce things up around the house. Whether you are trying to sell your home or not, taking care of these chores will make things nice for YOU (yes, you deserve it!):

1. Make sure your entrance way says “Hey, look at me!”
2. Prune dead limbs from trees.
3. Paint (or touch up) exterior, and repair screens and windows.
4. Clean your windows.
5. Check A/C and heating systems.
6. Fix leaky faucets, toilets, and faulty lights.
7. Vacuum drapes and carpets.
8. Repair wall cracks, re-caulk bathrooms and kitchen.
9. Clear out closets.
10. Remove excess furniture.
11. Mow lawn, edge driveway and walkways
12. Ensure windows, doors, and locks work smoothly.
13. Weed flower beds and trim shrubs.
14. Throw out junk from garage and storage areas.
15. Clean lawn furniture.
16. If you have a pool, make it crystal clear.

Looks like a pretty good "honey do" list if you ask me! Now, get off the internet and get to work! ;)

Ponies and Plays

Summer fun in Fort Worth can take many forms. This post tells about some of the summer concerts available. But what if you're in the mood for Shakespeare? You're in luck (barely) because the Trinity Shakespeare Festival ends this weekend. You have your choice of The Tempest or The Comedy of Errors. Or see them both while you can!

If Shakespeare doesn't interest you, check out the horse races at Lone Star Park (technically Grand Prairie but very close to FW!). Or you can play poker. Or you can go to a concert. Lone Star Park is a hopping spot through mid-July with lots of entertainment options.

There are always fun things to do on the BEST side of the Metroplex. For more information on the many local events available, check out this link or this one. Fort Worth is a great place to live!
