Governor Perry

Call home.  Your state is on fire.

We got the package today.  The clothes are really nice.  Robert will love the cars.

Tuesday, September 6 Kitchen Report

All of these are complete except the one between the stove and fridge is not attached.  The one above the fridge is just sitting on the fridge and there is a spacer that goes between the sink base and the corner cabinet.

That is my old sink just sitting on the sink base.  He has to get everything complete so we can measure for the counter top.  I am not sure what color counter top I will get.  I am getting a new sink and faucet also.  The island is not connected yet, and you can see the space where the spacers go.  I am going to have so much more space and they are really pretty.  They go really well with the floor.

This is the bonus cabinet.  It is sitting across the room in next to where the dinning table goes.  I am going to get a new, smaller table.

We have a microwave, stove hood combination, but it was damaged. They are bringing another one tomorrow.

I have put some of my things in the cabinets, but not in the lower cabinets because they are not completed yet.     So far, I am very please with the carpenter doing all the work.  We are both surprised that it is going so well.

Moral of the story?

Gov of Texas prayed for rain.  God sent rain, to Louisiana, winds to Texas to fan the flames.

Be careful what you pray for.

Holiday

George has all the upper cabinets except the one above the fridge.  It is 3 inches shorter than the space.  Jr the carpenter wants me to take it back and buy a custom cabinet for that space.  I do not think that is a worthy use of money since the cabinets above the fridge are too high up to be of any real use.  The cabinets are going in faster than I expected.  The corner cabinet was not in to suit George, so yesterday I finally told him why not just take it out and start over.  He did and the second time he liked it much better.  They look beautiful.

They look so good that I have decided we are going to put in a nice backsplash behind them.  Maybe tile, but we will do all the rest first.

Monday, George will start on the floor cabinets.

Today, we are going to go to tourist city and ride the train for Roberts birthday.  He will be six next week.  He loves trains and trucks.  I think he is going to be really, really excited to ride a real train.  We took him to the zoo last year and he rode a little train for about 10 minutes and thought he was in heaven.
