YES, I'M STILL HERE!!

Pray for our people and country along with other nations 
suffering from this horrible virus that has attacked many.

Hello there friends...yes, it has been TWO months since I've been on but
things have been rather busy around here lately.

We decided to put a new floor in our kitchen so that was a fun process for awhile.
We are so lucky to have our daughter in-laws brother who is an installer put it in for us.
We had to take the large pantry cupboard out because it was way too heavy to leave in so everything that was in it had to come out and so for a bit over a week when I'd cook or we wanted a snack we had to get it out of plastic bins or on the dining room table and more of what was stored in there was on the counters. That alone was a pleasure to get back to normal.









Three years ago if you remember we had a flood here in our town and our basement was flooded.
We got the storage area taken care of right away with painting, new wainscot and everything put back in...but the rest of the basement was in a sorry state so a little over a week ago we started
 in on my work space side of the basement
(Glad our basement is roomed off so we didn't have to tackle the entire thing at once).
We still had 4 gallons of that lovely aqua paint left so I started in on it and even getting those ugly dirty yellow walls painted brightened it up alot - even though aqua wasn't my first choice but the paint was a return and we got 5 gallons of it for $5 each - who wouldn't buy it for that for a basement!!!
Well if you are like us one thing leads to another.  
~ Painted walls aqua
~ Painted old brown cupboards white
~ Painted red/green/blue storage cabinets white
~ New counter tops
~ Painted chalkboard with blackboard paint
....and then last week I said I can't stand this dirty ugly brown tile floor so Doug laid down a tile floor this week and he did an excellent job (which I knew he would)!!
I love it!  Now tomorrow he will put the wood baseboard on.
Then the cupboards can be brought back in and counter on.


One thing I love about this space is the large work table that folds
up against the wall to make more floor space.
