Yep...It's Finally Summer

Search Amazon.co for gh    Can't help smiling again!  We had the wettest winter in many moons.  Now the sun is shining and the temperature has risen.  Matter of fact went to a high school reunion picnic on Saturday and it had to be over 100 degrees in the little town of  Cloverdale where the picnic was held.  ( Didn't realize how old I've gotten until I spent the better part of a day with some of my 'old friends', almost no one there had any color in their hair... even me.)  The heat that day reminded me that now is a good time to look at the window coverings in my house to make sure they are in good condition to keep out the heat to save energy this summer.  Also soon PG&E will be installing a new smart meter at our house and from what we read in the newspaper and see on the TV news we'll need to get ready for the shocking energy bills to come.

Hunter Douglas' Duette Architella shades are still part of the Federal Energy Act through 2010 so now is the time to be able to get a Federal Tax refund, up to $1,500 this year, when buying the best energy saving shades on the market.  These shades are wonderful energy savers, not only in the summer, but in the winter too.  They come in many different colors and fabrics to satisfy the most picky shopper.  Call us to give you a free estimate.  In the mean time, I hope that your summer is - well, just great!

Saw this little tree on Amazon reminded me of Hawaii and summer!
