r meets expensive real estate. It is just as hilarious as they promised.If you've seen the show, you can rest assured that our renovation is nothing like that.
Basically, we're waiting on the windows, appliances and cabinets to arrive. It looks like the kitchen will materialize some time in early September. That's good news for all of you who plan to visit us in November - we'll actually be able to cook for you! Geoff is flipping out in his own way as he tries to prepare our dinner using the toaster oven and a small grill intended for beach barbecues. I'm oddly at peace with the chaos. It has become rather normal to use the microwave on the floor in our living room or to snake the big orange extension cord around whenever you need power. Lighting the gas stove with

p.s. i LOVE your shirt geoff - who gave it to you??
Can't wait to see the finished product!
i can't beleive that you guys vetoed the white melamine and cherry red kitchen...ha! (that's sarcasm, BTW)
seriously, i do love the arches and new selections. i can totally sympathize with the chaos of renovating a kitchen--i've lived through it twice, once as my own contractor & once with my perfectionist dad doing-everything-himself. i'm glad you're having pleasant experiences with your renovators...
i'm following but suck at actually commenting. Fishka is my favorite picture! looks like an amazing time, from the car trip to the travails of teaching a north carolinian dog-child to swim.
sorry i couldn't chat the other day, isabel--and i can't get gmail chat to work at home.
