I have a life!

And that is all I can say about not posting more frequently. I have been busy. The kitchen project is progressing. No tile back splash yet...no new knobs yet... But the counter top is excellent and the gas stove is what I have been waiting 9 years for. The oven finally works...it sounded like a jet engine after the initial installation. Little steps they say. I am hesitant to post pictures. I want the before and the after to be significant not just stages but I may relent if the time line continues to be so slow. I will begin ripping wall paper off this week and painting the wood work. It is going to be a long process but so worth it when it is finished.
Steve and I spent much time outside today finishing the exterior painting. We did manage to play 9 holes of golf before the sun set. Still have to take advantage of the 60 degree temps.


My mom is doing well. She may get home next Friday. Lots of work for my Dad but hopefully it will all work out. Mike interviewed a roommate this weekend too. Hopefully by December 1 he will have a roommate.

Too bad about MSU Saturday. What an upset it would have been to beat Iowa. We may have to look to the basketball season for better winning statistics.

"Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost."

Have a great day.

Wow! You are a busy gal. Just know that I am trying not to envy you too much about your remodeling job in your kitchen. I am using your old line, "I am going green and keeping my formica counter tops!"
Enjoy the good feeling of having everything work efficiently and aesthetically pleasing in your kitchen.
Missing you!
