New And Improved Kitchen Sink…
In May our kitchen suffered a small leak. That small leak became a huge headache overnight as the old kitchen cabinets – and along with them the old kitchen sink- were pulled out and discarded.
Summer is family time at our house and with so much going on we made little (almost no) progress toward replacing [...]
Back at my kitchen sink…
Today has been nothing short of glorious. The weather is crisp and clear, but not too cold. Everyone got a good night’s sleep last night so as each family member passed through my kitchen this morning, there was good cheer and a pleasant acceptance that another day is before us. I put [...]
