• A Cooler Day

  I am thanking the Lord today for a cooler day - it was 78 degrees most of the day, going up to about 83 - no rain, but it did rain a tad little bit yesterday.  The reason I am so thankful is that we were without power all day.  The electrician guys had to re-do our whole breaker box, since so much has been changed with the kitchen remodeling.  They told us yesterday that they were going to do it, so we were able to prepare some.  It would have been an especially awful day if it was still hovering around 100 degrees!  The temps are suppose to go up again, but we had a little respite.

  I spent the morning at Amanda's, helping her can spaghetti sauce, played with the kiddos, went to the library with them, ate lunch with them.  Then I came home, read a little, and ended up taking a 2 hour nap!

  Exhaustion - that's been my week.  I am exhausted after all the activity around here!  Getting ready for the reception, getting the kitchen ready for guests, the whole family in town, having the reception, having 2 family/friends dinners here in my almost-finished kitchen, then hanging out with the kids for a few more days, now getting the rest of the kitchen put away, as much as I can before backsplash goes on and it gets all painted - I loved it all!  I enjoyed it all, and I would do it all again in a heartbeat!  But I have been just so tired, that I don't get a lot done at any one time!

  Tomorrow I will try to remember to take a picture of the kitchen now, as it is almost finished.  But I think we have several weeks yet before we can call it finished, really!
