It figures...

Ya know how some days ya sit and stare at the blinky cursor/empty page and there is nothing happening? The dogs can't verbally respond to your attempts at conversation and it just seems like a LONG DAY? Ya just sort of feel pathetic and alone? BUT THEN ALL THE THINGS HAPPEN ON ONE DAY? 

We have been checking some long overdue projects off the "This Old House" list.  The penultimate kitchen project is the back splash and it is in progress. Tomorrow might be the end of that. Twelve years of no back splash in the kitchen? My "tall left handed guy" joke is truly clarified when you realize they just didn't use the counter for real cooking. My sloppy pie filling and pastry making actual USE of the counters resulted in some ugly brown paint just getting uglier. SO yeah, we are at the midway point for the back splash.

In other news, Ya know how people ask, "Can I get you anything?" FOR TWELVE YEARS... I have been a smart ass responding with, "A flat tummy, a jet? A fence! I would like a fence please!" Guess what is officially underway? We are fencing in "the back yard"! It is really only about 1/8 of our three acres, but it is gonna improve my sanity by leaps and bounds. Luna has been very good about staying on our property but lately, as she ages, she has taken to sort of just meandering off into the subdivision. The chickens go into the woods and don't come out willingly and can we talk about rambunctious Keiki, who is enamored of squirrels and birds and will obsessively chase them right into the road? This fence is gonna be wonderful.
