We have given Jeff and family our piano so today Jeff brought his family and Daniell's brother Lou up to visit and load the piano on his pickup. Things went well and Lou will help unload on the other end. After we signed Bridget's cast, she and Bailey decorated their new aprons.
Trip Log
We continue to work on the counter trim but still have to make a final decision on the backsplash. Alesa wanted to not have a backsplash but now thinks it might look too bare.
And the weather has cooled down considerably, not bad for the Fall. Saturday was a catch up day with a lot of little projects.
The installers showed up at 8:30 on Thursday morning and were done and on their way by 9:15 and they even took the old countertops away. They were able to do the "L" shaped counter out of a single piece of Zodiaq, no seams!
It has been a medical week. They came to measure for our new countertops last Monday then we went to a Medicare seminar. It's getting to be that time. On Tuesday morning I went to the VA hospital in Philadelphia for a four day stay.
Tomorrow they come to measure for the new kitchen countertops so we pulled off the old ones to refinish the walls and retrofit the cabinets for the Zodiaq countertops. We aren't going to have a backsplash or the same overhang so more of the wall and cabinet fronts will be visible.
Today is 9/10/11 and we continue to settle in. We revisited our kitchen countertop quotes and will order on Monday. Mike and the girls came over for a visit today and Jeff & Danielle brought Bailey and Bridget over to spend the weekend.
We left Lampe at around 11 am on Tuesday and arrived home around 6:15 that evening. The weather was clear when we started but we got stuck behind a slow truck for about 50 miles. It got as low as 5 mph up the hills.
Today was 'Take your little brother to the zoo' day. Since Bob and and Cathy haven't been to the zoo for a few years we picked them up and took them to the zoo. It's another hot and humid day so we then went to Whippie Dip for some black raspberry ice cream.
We head home on Tuesday and we are ready. It has been another great summer but getting a little redundant. Last Saturday we biked around the peninsula and Sunday Lynn & Tony spent the night. It was hectic because they were flying home on Monday and their flight was cancelled due to Irene.
