A person hates to be all positive because just when things seem really good; the rug can be pulled out from beneath your feet. However, one of the last elements of our kitchen remodel is complete ~ the built in hutch is in (no hardware yet, but that is so minor) what's more the hutch is everything I was hoping for and more. It is totally period, 1920's and completes our kitchen perfectly. I loved carefully placing my yellow ware bowls, vintage table clothes and of course my cookbooks into the hutch I love love love it.
The weather has inspired me to bake so I made orange fennel muffins and chocolate zucchini cake both turned out perfectly ~ see what I mean things are going to0 smoothly. I plan on making a fresh peach pie, wish me luck.
On Friday night Kent and I painted for more than two hours but it was the final coat of paint for all the trip in the den and three doors~ it was good to get that out of the way and not have it hanging over my head all weekend. While we painted we listened to a couple of sermons by Gregory Boyd http://www.gregboyd.org/ which reconfirmed to me what a gifted spiritual leader he is. It is nice to feel like you are on the same page as someone else.
The last of of crown molding and baseboards were installed today so I have minimal painting to do, it seems like there is an end in sight (at least until we start the next project). I have to mention that our kitchen cabinets were made by Jim Kreft of Arlington and our trim work was installed by his brother John Kreft~ if you are in the market to hire someone for this type of work I promise you there is no one better.
Earlier in the week my mom and I went to see Britt at college and we had a very adventurous time. I made a point to connect with a few people who I hadn't seen in years (one in about 25 years) and I have to tell you it was the best descision I have ever made. We talk about people being more important than things but often we put off the act of actually contacting people, that is such a shame. I had a fantastic time visiting with old friends and am really looking forward to the next time we can get together.
Britt took us to a great spot called Wisconsin Point, http://www.ci.superior.wi.us/index.aspx?NID=226 this is like the best kept secret in the world; it was so beautiful.
We spent some time Superior and we found some of the best antique, thrift and consignment stores, it is worth your drive over the bridge to do a little shopping.
Time to start the pie~ I will post photos if I get the batteries charged.
