First Sunday of Advent...

O Come, O Come Emmanuel:

Kitchen Update...

Tim has finished with the bulk of the refacing of the kitchen, and I am SO pleased!
He got the metallic backsplash in and finished framing the window. These are NOT the colors...the camera is not working real well. The cabinets are the same ones that I had before. I couldn't see replacing them when they were still perfectly good. Tim is going to put a cornice on the top so that they look more finished. I found a cutting board that fits over the sink perfectly for chopping and prepping .I just have to find curtains for the kitchen and dining room windows. That is gonna be a tough one. I guess I'll have to look around for awhile and get some ideas.

I also found a set of coat hooks for the entryway, so that the boys will have a better place to hang their coats than an old chair!

Brendan and Paul enjoyed some of the evening in front of "Looney Tunes". They love to fold out the sleeper and get comfy.

Tim and I had a very nice evening out at the new "Wine Bar" in downtown Havre de Grace. It has a very nice atmosphere and wonderful food! We just wanted a night out alone! Paul went to visit with Josh and Mira and John and Brendan were at home.

Tomorrow is a rehearsal day and Tim is going to have some fun with the boys, after working on the house all weekend.

It's Philly Friday!

Some GREAT lines in this part. Enjoy!

A Happy Thanksgiving To All!

While we are enjoying good food, and good company, let's remember to thank our God who has Blest us so abundantly.

"Twas The Night Before Thanksgiving..."

Well, wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles, we have a new counter, a new sink, and the water works!
This is still mid-project, but this was the biggest part of the kitchen. My husband is an amazing guy!

Bye-Bye Blue

Well, here is the first installment of Tim and Jen's great Thanksgiving Adventure.
It's now 11:15 pm on Tuesday, and we just finished taking out the first Countertop.
The old blue thing is out in the driveway, hopefully waiting for a guy to come and get it tomorrow afternoon. So, now the new one will be here around 7:00 am...ish.
More pictures tomorrow.

This May Be A VERY Interesting Thanksgiving...

So we ordered the new countertop for the kitchen sometime around the first of the month. I knew when we ordered it that it was going to come close to Thanksgiving. I didn't know that it would be delivered the DAY BEFORE Thanksgiving!
We have a tradition in the family of having water issues on Thanksgiving.
I am going to have a new sink and faucet, the water filter will go under the sink, oh, and the house is 50+ years old. How many variables do you really need to make this a dicey proposition?
I will blog "before" pictures tomorrow night, and "during" pictures the next morning.
I am praying that I can blog a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings on Thursday night, and not pictures of the Merkel family eating dinner at Bob Evans.
We'll see how it goes.
I'd sure hate for life to get boring...
