Birthday in Florida

We spent Paul's birthday in Florida with my sister Leslie and her husband Bobby. It was Bobby's birthday the following Friday, so we had lots of celebrating to do.

(or maybe it was the 2nd, whose is that on the floor?)

What I Got for Christmas

I know that some people will laugh, but I am so excited about what I got for Christmas!

The old toilet in this bathroom was a hideous baby blue with a nasty wooden seat that I could never keep clean. When we moved in, I said it was going to be one of the first things to go. Ten years later, it's finally history.

:-)

We also put in this beautiful kitchen sink and faucet to replace the old ones that the previous owner had just rigged up and always leaked. Wish I had a picture of both the toilet and the sink so you could see the "before and after."

The sink is extra-deep, with the right basin larger than the other, and the faucet is really high with a pull-down sprayer. I LOVE IT!!! It fits really big pots and pans, and is so shiny and clean.

I'm not sure what my next project will be. Maybe refinishing the kitchen cabinets and replacing the blue formica countertops. (The last holdout of the 80's pink and blue flowers that our house was decorated with when we bought it...I have spent years eradicating THAT.) But if I do work on the kitchen, I will want to put in new appliances, so I'll have to think about that for a while. Maybe just a new dishwasher so we don't have to wash our dishes by hand BEFORE putting them in the dishwasher???

Happy New Year everyone!
