Monday, starting out right.

     Even though I stayed up very late last night, I got up with Hub's and walked this morning.  Go me! Now may that habit continue. 

     My counter tops go in on Wednesday.  Then on Thursday water will be hooked up as in SINK!  Ice maker for the refrigerator!! Friday crew starts the finishing of the job.  What a job. A kitchen remodel is really a pain.  It will be well worth the trouble.  I have only had a dishwasher for 7 years of my 38 year marriage and that is because my twin bought a roll in one for the 7 years I was taking in exchange students from the college to help with my oldest daughter's college bills.  When it broke I never replaced it, that was about 5 years ago.  A built in dishwasher, wow I mean I can hardly wait.

     I have two sets of army dress blues to complete today and a ton of glue and pearl work to do on a wedding dress.  I am going to go out and give my chairs their last coat of paint touch up and then leave them.  I want to set up some saw horses with a tarp underneath to paint all the trim and plate rail for the contractor so all he has to do is measure saw and put up then touch up.

     There is a long list of things left to do in the finish department.

     Daughter and grandson go home tonight so we will be back to semi normal.  He is so cute.  I mean squishy cute and he is smiling.  Especially at his Grandma.

I have a lot of yard work to do and plan to start that this evening when it cools down.  I want to get the front weeded and then work on the pond area, the garden and the back.  I hope to have this done before we leave to take care of our other grandsons next week.

     It is very hot here and I love it!

Have a great and productive day!
