Kitchen Demolition Tomorrow!

We're all packed up and ready for the kitchen demolition tomorrow. I think the kitties know something is up. I just pray it won't be too stressful for Baby and Dolly with all the noise. Although, they made it through the past 5 months. In the past 5 months we've:

Replaced our deck
Replaced our siding
Replaced our windows
Painted the 3 bedrooms upstairs

So we're on the verge of the last project - a new kitchen with all new appliances, a new built in bar and island in the living room, a new entertainment center with built in bookshelves and a big screen TV with surround sound in the living room. This is going to be awesome!

We had our last meal in the old kitchen tonight. I made scrambled egg sandwiches with cheddarwursts. We also had a nice white wine to go with it.

The kitchen is now bare and it echoes when we talk. Weird.

It finally cooled off today so I took Baby outside for awhile. He sniffed around for about 15 minutes and then came back upstairs and waited at the deck door to be let in. Dolores's flower box is doing wonderfully. Our tomatoes and hot peppers are doing well, our rose bush is not and all our marigolds died. I think I will fill those in with pretty stones next year instead.

Mom, Aaron and I all had a great dinner at Johnny's Chop House once again. Mom and I had London Broil with broccoli and a salad. Aaron had Mediterranean chicken and cream of potato soup. We shared a bottle of Crossings Savignon Blanc. The meal was perfect, healthy and within our budget. Johnny's is our favorite restaurant. Our waitress-friend, Mary and I are now sharing our poetry. I brought a poem that I had published in a book and read it to her. She has all of her's memorized so she performed one for me! It's so fun to share this way.

Now that I'm going to be in limbo for awhile with the kitchen project, I've promised Mom and Aaron that I would write more. If I find it worthy of an audience, I will also post my writing here.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

I'm trying to decide if I should continue this blog after the 1 year mark or if I should begin another one of all my creative writing instead. What do you think? What would you like to see? Let me know.
