What an amazing day! We got up early this morning and out the door quickly. We went to our favourite little greasy spoon for breakfast, as always, great breakfast, eggs, hash browns, salad, breakfast meat, juice, coffee, dirt cheap and delicious. We go so often the owner who is also the chef sees us walk in the door, say good morning and immediately prepares our breakfast. We don’t even have to order. Which could be really endearing or it could simply say we are way too predictable! Not that I mind, there is something comforting in being that predictable and besides I really like being part of a community, a fixture in the neighbourhood where my breakfast order is already known when I arrive. Anyway, after that, we made the rounds of the hardware stores, looking at and choosing hardwood flooring, tiles, looked at kitchen cabinets and picked up some paint and then over to the new house. We had a full day of work and good friends came over and helped us with taping the walls for painting and working on the plumbing. We really are extremely blessed to have such good friends who will lend a hand, willingly. Let’s face it renovations are no fun when you own the house, even less so when you are just doing them as a favour! How grateful are we. Home now late, exhausted and sore, but the house is coming together. We pulled out part of the kitchen tonight; a new kitchen is one its way! Woo hooo. Tomorrow a big day of final edits and then the laying out of the book and uploading for our proof. So much going on right now!
