Finishing the kitchen remodel
Source: craftily-ever-after.blogspot.com via Chris on Pinterest The house is freezing for the third day in a row and will most likely be the same tomorrow. The tile guys are here again and finishing the tile and the backsplash. Still can’t find handles and knobs for the cabinets so we’re off to IKEA again on Thursday. Geez, it’s been so busy. I never knew that remodeling […]
Power Outage
Source: google.co.uk via Vicky on Pinterest It never ceases to surprise me how much I depend on electricity and how much at a loss I feel when I have none.

Almost forced to go to plan B
I slammed on my brakes. The first deer dashed across the road. I knew there would be more but it was so dark and rainy I couldn’t see.

Well, you say, “I thought you retired.” I tell the kids at school when I come back that “no matter how hard they try I will keep coming back to haunt them.” I’m teaching in the math department. Tomorrow looks like a pretty easy day. Teaching transformations and fractions and will enjoy seeing my colleagues at Stayton High tomorrow. I’ll […]
Post ID: 275
Off to Ikea this morning to finish off a 2 year project. (remodeling my kitchen) Wow I cannot believe it has taken this long. Yesterday I had my first tea from my insta hot fixture on my new sink. I guess one could say it takes baby steps. I was determined to pay cash for every purchase. Success. Next week the floor people will be […]
