Hallelujah, we have a sink and running water!!! It took some doing but, finally, the sink is in. We are far from finished, though. We have temporary faucets until the counter tops come in and they aren't going to be measured till Friday. It takes 2-3 weeks before they are done. Loving everything so far, especially my carpenter...my husband, he's been working day and night!

Tomorrow we are supposed to get our replacement sink base for the kitchen! Maybe I can get running water in there again?  Since we started the remodel, I haven't had running water in the kitchen, due to first tearing out the old sink, then the wrong sink base being sent for us. We have been waiting for the new one for 12 days. Washing dishes in the bathroom or basement, not my idea of fun! All my other cabinets are in, but this is a big problem. We can't get our counter tops till the sink is in. I wish it was all done.

Whew! Shopped till we dropped! My parents are in from FL and we went to the mall today for some marathon shopping. We had to do it in stages. First it was ALL of us...Mom  & Dad, Mandy & I. Then, we came home for a change and Mom and I went back for more. Dad and Mandy stayed home to rest. Tom worked on the kitchen. We ended up eating dinner late and being very tired after the shopping experience. But, we got lot's of bargains! Can't beat 75 percent off, then 15 more!!!! Nice!

After a very tough week of loss, we are back to the kitchen redo. The cabinets are in all but the sink which came in the wrong size. We got our stove delivered and it was scratched and dented. We await a new one. So, more time without a sink or stove!!! Real tired of this. The apron sink cabinet won't be in for 9 days? The stove? Ah, The joys of remodeling.

I won't be at the Dillweed Herb Faire due to a death in the family. Very sorry for the loss of my Best friend Sandy's Mom.  Agnes Diehl. 1922-2010

Well, the count down is on...the new cabinets arrive Thursday morning. Final preparations are in high gear. A lot of  Spackle going on the walls and the sub floor is going down. I can hardly wait to see the cabinets. When you pick them out you don't really know how it all will look until it all fits in to place. I will be a bundle of nerves till it's all finished! Pictures later...
