Day 15 Recap

Today started out being another day of doing finishing work on the cabinets.........a lot of the rest of the work depended on the counters being installed & we are waiting on some extra molding that had to be ordered.  Jim figured they would put on knobs & door handles & clean up so that after lunch Davey could grout the floor & no one would be walking on it.  We had resigned ourselves to the counters not coming until next week.  Around 1:15 PM I got a call telling me the counters would be here between 11:00 & 3:00 tomorrow.  So plans were changed & Davey grouted just the stove & refrigerator areas & will now do the rest of the floor tomorrow....assuming they get here closer to 11:00!!



Now I have my stove in temporarily......the outlet behind has to be wired.

Check out the lights....Jim didn't like the way they looked yesterday so he switched them all out for something else.  I think they look much better!
This side of the kitchen doesn't have crown yet....that's what we are waiting for.
Check this out....I'm cooking pasta for Popster dinner!  Do you like my counter Jim put in for me??  What a guy....he thinks of everything!!  Rumor has it I will actually have running water tomorrow!!!

I'm so excited!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Yea for Don the repair guy!

My new BFF is Don the repair guy who came today to fix the dishwasher. Amazingly, after he took the door apart it would close - I really did not believe the handle was broken but was defective! It had never felt right........always kinda loose. Anyway he decided that as long as we had a new handle he would install it & even gave me the old one as a back-up. Works much better now. Funny story - while he was here he got a phone call from the office telling him one of his earlier repairs of the day had called saying their dishwasher would not start at all. He called the lady back & suggested different things for her to try but nothing worked. He said he would stop back after his next call to see what it could be. As he hung up I said "Sounds to me like she has the "child lock control" on!". Sure enough after another phone call that turned out to be the problem! Maybe I need a change of careers!!!!!

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call
