7 Weeks on Saturday

We’ll be seven weeks into the kitchen project on Saturday. The contractor is getting tired of hearing from me. I’m getting used to having the kitchen table in the living room where we can watch the PBS News Hour during dinner. The house is a whirlwind disaster area. There just doesn’t seem to be muchContinueContinue reading “7 Weeks on Saturday”

3 Weeks Later

We’re now three weeks into the project. We’ve been to multiple stores multiple times and had multiple workmen here multiple times.

To cut to the chase, Hubby wanted to refinish the kitchen cupboards and so to ease me into the project we decided to refinish the pantry doors. It’s been 6 months since my last post onContinueContinue reading “Kitchen Cupboard Project Update”

There Are No Funny Pictures Because It’s Not Funny

I hope you all are interested in genealogy, ’cause you’re getting a lot of that right now. GoodContinueContinue reading “There Are No Funny Pictures Because It’s Not Funny”
