I have not been blogging for a while now. It has been a little bit stressful around here, to say the least. The kitchen renovation, which started off so well, became a nightmare. Don't ask. I guess it is just the way it is. Can any construction work EVER go just as planned? I doubt it. At least our kitchen stories are not as bad as some of the ones I have heard. Moving on. Everything came together (enough) last week, the day before Gail & Dom (Gi Gi & Pop Pop that is) arrived from Dallas. We still have trim work and touch up painting left and need to choose and install back splash. But, everything is back in the cabinets and the kitchen is fully useful. Here are some pics from the nearly finished kitchen. Try to ignore all the blue pieces of tape on the walls marking the areas that need paint touch-up!
