We're ( ah hem , Rich is) getting closer to being done with this messy job.


I told Rich that I'm having some trepidation about re-doing the kitchen. Before I cook anything, I need the kitchen to be clean. I especially need the counters free of any and all crumbs (or construction debris). I've suggested a wall-by-wall kitchen remodel scenario. That way I'll have at least two of three working appliances (fridge, or stove, or sink/dishwasher) at all times.

Christmas present #1 is done and delivered. I made a scarf for Pete's teacher, and delivered it in a Chinese-style take-out box.
