Kitchen Update

I suppose busy is a good word for things around here. I have been neglectful of my computer and this blog. Just a little too much non-order around here for my taste. I started a post about our family vacation to Yellowstone, but I don't have the pictures ready yet. Of course the main thing on the mind of everyone in our house is getting things back in order.

This is a picture of our kitchen that I took when we got home from Yellowstone. I can't even tell you how exciting it was to come home to a kitchen full of cabinets. I think they are beautiful. They installed countertops on Friday. Again, amazing. I'm trying to figure out what to do with all the space. We have to wait until the end of the week to have the plumbing connected, the oven seems to be on backorder still, and the dishwasher and cooktop need connected as well. But I have to say...this is progress. We'll have the patio door installed on Wednesday, and that will be the end of the major dust. Hooray!!! I think I will dust my blinds.

This is the view from my new kitchen window above the sink. I love it when the hollyhocks are in bloom all across our neighbors house. They are beautiful.

So I just ran and snapped a couple shots of the kitchen right now. Here they are in the morning light.

I Like Sinks

Before Ron could finish up the work he was doing on the walls, we had to remove the sink from the kitchen. I had unhooked everything but the filtered water line, and was waiting to be sure that was turned off properly before I moved it. I guess I really couldn't have moved it myself anyway, but I was working for progress there. So, as Ron was taking the sink out of the kitchen, Emma asks, "What is he doing? Where is he taking our sink?"

I explained that in order to continue work on the kitchen, it needed to be removed.

Emma thinks about this for awhile and then says, "I like sinks."

Poor little thing likes order, schedules, predictablility, and quiet. She loves being home, and it is pretty disturbing for her to have things so out of order.

So, fast forward awhile. I told Emma that we had to be home because the guys were coming to install the countertops.

Emma says to me, "Will they bring the sink?"

"Yes"

"Oh good. I like sinks."

I think she's just as ready to have a functioning kitchen as I am.
