About that kitchen remodel

It's been a while since my last post. When I first noticed this I was baffled about why. Then I re-read my post about being stuck in the kitchen. I suddenly remembered all the stuff that happened during that project.

In April of this year we, as in Rob & I, started the kitchen remodeling project by taking all the cabinet doors off. We were about halfway finished stripping them when Rob had to hospitalized due to a bad case of pnemonia. He spent one night in intensive care. That sorta set us back in more ways than one. About a week after he got home from the hospital we called in a friend or two to help us with electrical work, wood work, and countertops. Rob and I tiled the floor and backsplash and painted. The project included the ajoining family room as well. The whole thing was finally finished by July 1st & we had about 30 guests for Fourth of July festivities.

A few weeks after Rob's hospitalization, our daughter had some extensive oral surgery that required and over-night stay in the hospital. She was on a liquid diet for about 6 weeks. That was good because we couldn't do much cooking during that time anyway. The rest of us just ate a lot of McDonald's and Subway.

We are enjoying our remodel and will never take good health for granted!
