Projects

Okay the kitchen is finally getting close. Today the tile backsplash is being grouted and then the work that is left is just Steve and I. Steve is painting the woodwork and I am wallpapering. It has been an experience but the kitchen now looks very good.

An update on my mother is good too. She is home with my Dad now and getting around although slowly. The hip fractures are mending and she is able to do some walking. The shoulder is not a big problem but her arm with the elbow replacement is still giving her pain. She is seeing her elbow specialist today. Apparently an artificial elbow needs new bearings every so often and hers were about due anyway. That may be the prognosis from today's visit and surgery to replace them may have to be scheduled.

Mike is doing well. I saw him yesterday and we renewed his drivers licence. I have not heard from the potential roommate yet but hopefully we are still looking at a December 1 date.

Here are a few of the before pictures of the kitchen and the in process pictures.
