This is NOT X rated

Despite what this looks like, this is not an obscene gesture. Juan Rodriguez, our contractor, is showing us how the height of the vanity in the bathroom is really convenient for us short people. I am looking on gleefully, because the bathroom is almost done!

Below are the doors to the screened porch which we expect to practically live in. We continue to imagine we're just sitting on the porch, drinking wine, listening to the crickets . . .

After, we've cooked dinner in our gorgeous new kitchen. These are some of the cabinets. the two big one's on the left will be pantry closets, with pull out drawers.

And, we interrupt this blog to present this adorable little one, our granddaughter Ella, visiting with her parents Eli Kramer and Naomi Whitty from Alaska. We spent the afternoon with her and had a GREAT time. Went to Young's to see the baby animals, ate ice cream, went to the farm to buy apples, and then for a short walk in the Glen. It was great -- she is lively and curious and fun to be with. They are here until Wednesday, so there may be more pictures.

A bit of a panic yesterday, when the appliance supply place informed us that they couldn't get the stove! They've had the order since the middle of June and now they tell us! We're a week away from moving in!!! So, while Len was at a meeting yesterday, I ran out to Sears and bought a stove. We should have done that in the first place. It will be delivered Tuesday. Another crisis averted.
