Dropping in to leave a brief note is all.  For those of you who have sent PMs asking about my well being be assured all is good.

Hectic is the word to some degree.  Lots of family events happening lately and a whole miriad of trips to Victoria and parts west.  Guy and I have a delightful friendship going and he is getting better a bit at a time as far as his health is concerned.  He has had a battery of tests and we now know that his physical pain is not anything operable.  It is totally created by the trauma he has been through.  With the help of the medical world and his own determination he will regain his strength and vitality as time allows.

On the home front, the kitchen is complete with the exception of the ceiling and connection of a few bits of electrical.  The main floor bath is finished and just waiting for hook up of the jaccuzzi, shower and sink.  (The sink is yet to arrive but the rest will be connected before the weekend.)

One of the upstairs bedrooms will hopefully be completed by the weekend which will allow construction to begin on the master bath.  Maybe the new window in the dining room will go in shortly and we'll be able to finish the drywall in there.

Yesterday I went to select paint.  Using a wall paper sample, with the assistance of one of the store employees, we came up with what looked like a good color match.  It looked great in the can but the smudge I made on the wall with it looks like Kraft Cheeze Whiz!  I'm darn sure thats not the color I want but if I can't find anything more suitable we'll use it and hand paint some pimento stuffed olives on it!

All the best.  I'll be back again.

    Good to see you!  Myself, I am out here on the "wing of the airplane" lately, but it's nice to see your post and get an update on you.  My best to your friend, Guy, and to you and your kitchen endeavors.  Kraft Cheese Whiz and olives for a wall--now that's my kind of innovative thinking!  ( btw, who stuffs the olives with pimentos before they go into the jar?)

    Didn't you know that's a night job for wombats and frustrated botonii?  Get the hell off the wing and start stuffing.

    Well, it would be more productive than what I've been doing lately.....and it's cold out here on the wing all alone.  Thanks for the smile!

    Hey you ole hayseed, good to see your words on the page again. I know you have been busy and it sounds like that's paid off in terms of the kitchen.
     
    All my best to you and your botoni and I look forward to your gracing these pages again.

    bottybootydickie, honey, it's so good to see you.  As I was driving home a few minutes ago, you ran across my mind.  Hope you didn't trip on any of the clutter in there.  ;)
     
    Will you give Guy my best, s'il vous plait?

    Hey Botty~Thanks for the update. I have wondered about these things and you know I have been concerned about your well being. You take care of yourself, or honey, I may just swoon. I AM feeling a little dizzy right now...

    bot- Good to see you back. I thought maybe you got caught in your own turbo-charged garbage disposal. Glad to hear thing are better for everyone. By the way, that smudge of paint isn't going to tell you how the kitchen will look if painted.

    when did this remodel spread to the rest of the house?  (I obviously missed something)  I love it when a remodel is done, though living through it is a pain in the ass.
     
    Glad to hear that Guy and you are enjoying some time together.  My best to him.
