The Kitchen

It's here!

The garage has room for only a handful of loose sand, but the kitchen has arrived.

Marilyn is ecstatic.

She wanted to unpack it all and sit around and admire it, but I'm afraid the admiring part will come after the dealing with idiots part.

Monday (the day of my departure on the Lap of America), Wally's favorite chew toy and a crew of other installers are due to descend on the house, start un-packing, un-crating, and un-installing. They're due to be here through Tuesday. On Thursday, the granite people will be here to template the counter tops, and within a week or so, the entire deal should be done.

I have a feeling that I'll finally be using a substantial portion of the 2 zillion minutes a month I have on my cell phone.

Special thanks to Jon and Missy for volunteering to help with the "Dealing with Idiots" part. I think I will have little to worry about on the home front while I'm wandering around the country. With Bobby, Laura, Sandy, Slade, and Gretchen as backup, Marilyn should have no problems with the kitchen installation. Like I've said before, I'm surrounded by good people.

I guess I can safely remove myself from the ranks of the "Less Fortunate". I'm blessed.
