Let us be grateful to people who make us happy,
they are the charming gardeners who make our
souls blossom. __Marcel Proust
Well…the kitchen remodel is finished! It’s great, amazing and beautiful. D worked his butt off and, as with any project he attempts, it was hugely successful. We love it. The before and after pictures are HERE.
So… After several days of coding and graphics manipulation the new blog is good. The next task is finding out how to add a photo album, code for my *Playlist* and a few more fancy widgets. Links in the side bar are very doable, but my guess is there are some fancy scripts available to accomplish same. Stay tuned.
On the home front, we spent yesterday - and I do mean spent. The pickup is holding new sinks for kitchen and bathroom, facets for both, a new disposal, tile for the kitchen counter-tops; plus various odds and ends that will allow us to complete the projects without dashing out to pick up some little forgotten something. It’s been awhile since we took on a major remodeling project. And I’ve got to admit, although we used to do them regularly, the older I get, the less I look forward to having our living space torn up and working so.o.o hard. Working would be the operative word. Remodeling, for ourselves and for others, used to be fun. Now…not so much. The end result will be cool. It always is. So the trick will be keeping my attitude in check. No b—-ing and moaning, just cheerful gofering. I mean come on! D does all the real heavy work - with a smile. Cheerful go-fering is the least I can do. I’ll take some before and after photos for the blog.
So I’m off to look for photo album widgets…have a beautiful day.

Hey! Hi everyone. I’ve missed you all. As you can see I’ve been busily building a place to blog that’s on my server and connected to my other sites.
Windows Live was a great learning experience and there are some truly wonderful people out there. The time spent working on that blog was fun. The folks I met are special–I still visit my favorites every few days to keep up with what’s going on in their lives. Hopefully, a few of them will drop by here and we can pick up our “get acquainted correspondence” from today.
Learning to put together a Word Press blog has been a huge challenge. Probably wouldn’t have been so much so, if yours truly wasn’t so obsessive compulsive when it comes to the style of the thing. One thing lead to another and I ended up re-decorating all of my Nana Ellen’s Pages. I haven’t spent so many hours on this part of my site since…gosh, I don’t remember when!
Well, honestly…another reason for rebuilding those pages came about because I found out someone else is using my original background and colors for an eBay store. Well, that’s not going to work. It’s like showing up at a party in the same dress as someone else. Ha! That’s just so girly, and I’m not really all that girly. Anyway…it’s all new now.
The only thing that’s left to do tonight is tweak a couple more things in the sidebar and, by george, I think she’s got it.
Let me know what you think, won’t you?
Hugs,
e
