Counter Revolution

Ladies and Gentlemen , we are proud to announce a new addition to our family. On friday, September 5th at 11:30 am we became the proud owners of countertops.


They weighed approximately 714 lbs. 10 oz, and labor seemed very painful.


We have already begun to lose our skills at balancing cereal bowls and glasses of juice on the sink edge. And it is significantly more difficult to get at the silverware. However, on the whole the countertops have been a positive addition.


We celebrated Friday night by inviting all of our friends over to spill some red wine. I am proud to say we christened the counter with its first drinking game. Reagan may tell you she won, but really, my friends, can there be winners and losers in such games? Certainly not!



To give you an idea of the true expanse of countertop, this salad is in a 20 gallon bowl. It fed 10 people for dinner.

Defense wall complete!

We have now completed the walls around the front yard. Now only approximately 50% of the trash gets into our plants.






Rather than a big mound of dirt and mulch, we have a defined front yard. It makes it all look so clean! We can now take a brake from yard work...well, work on the front yard.
