Thinning
Gardening season came early to Boulder. With very little snow and record breaking high temperatures my little spring plants hardly know what to do with themselves. With all this growth comes my least favorite part of gardening - thinning.
Texting With Mike
While visiting Mike in New Orleans he stepped out of his apartment to take a call. A very long call. Which left me and Will some time to make mischief.
Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler
Based on recent posts you’d think that we do nothing but think, dream and plan our kitchen renovation. However we did manage something completely non-kitchen related. We took a long weekend to visit my brother, Mike, in New Orleans. In fact, the only kitchen related thing we did there was to pop into an antiques shop in the French Quarter that specialized in European kitchen antiques.
Highlights from the trip:
Appliances, check!
While researching appliances for the kitchen, I looked at dozens of websites, and hundreds, if not thousands, of options. Typically “the internet” is my favorite store but while there were deals to be found on some of the items on our appliance wish list, in the end we ended up buying all of our appliances locally (with tax) and from one place. It just made things simpler, and gave us a bit more peace of mind.
Moving Right Along
We just gave final approval on our cabinetry, and it now goes into production (should be built by June 27th, and at our doorstep the week of July 9th).
We begin demo on the existing kitchen on June 22nd, which is only barely over two months from now. This project is starting to feel real, and rapidly approaching.
