overcoming fear...

 I watched online "how to" videos...

and spoke to several professionals...

 and  took measurements...

and laid out the tiles before I started...

I don't think I did too bad. That's where the stove will go.

going to the dentist...

our dentist was never this fun...

Remembering...

 Before...

After...

 Before...

After... so far, the work continues... But, we have water!

Before...

 After... Phase Two begins...

staying busy...

 

 

 

 Later...

kitchen garden...

 

this is our 4th year to plant the "Kitchen Garden"

 but first I will have to weed...

 

lots and lots of weeding

 and then some more weeding...

 

 it took me two days...

 plants on sale at Home Depot,  half price...awesome

cleaned out the patio pots...

 to make room for two rose bushes...

which are blooming...

 

 beds cleaned out...

 tomatoes

squash, zucchini,  egg plant

 okra

peaches

I have it!

I have been thinking about this ever since Emily was born...
I wanted a name for our house for when the girls come stay with us...
So as of today we will become...

"Camp Snugalmie"

Welcome...

I'll need to make t-shirts...  :-)

Abra Kadabra...

from...

bucket heads

to...

Princesses...

here we go again...

Kenneth let me get two more lemon and lime trees...

this time they already have fruit on them. 

After 5 years I never got anything from my others.

Lesson learned...never order fruit trees off line.

and my "choclate mint has survived...

drawers lined...check

 we used peel-n-stick tile to line the drawers and

 the shelves... my thinking is this will help in making them easier to keep clean.

this is for all my stone ware, it has its own cupboard...

how cool is that. 

 Ignore the holes in the back wall, this is where the old electric oven was located

 and they are where the electrical wiring run.
