Well, it's certainly been a while since I posted. Let's see....February??? Wow, it was cold outside then. Okay, enough small talk.
Yesterday was the first day back to school with students. Strange as it may seem to those on the outside, summer is a great way to re-charge your physical, mental and creative self after another school year. I couldn't wait to get back in my room, rhythm and schedule.
I know it has only been two days, but what a great bunch of kids I have in sixth grade. At the end of the day, I have 8th grade computers which are kids that I had two years ago in math. It's been great to see how much they have grown and matured.
The summer flew by though in large part to our re-model project on the main floor of our abode. The kitchen and dining rooms traded spaces and the living room got a major update with floor and walls.
Here is what the old dining room "new kitchen" looked like at the beginning of the project:
Pretty bare bones eh? The top picture is where our stove and fridge are currently located. (stove in the middle and fridge to the left) The bottom picture is where the sink is located. The great thing was the existing plumbing for the bathroom on the other side of the wall made it easy to install the sink and required plumbing on that wall with minimal cost!
Well that's all for this post...hopefully next time will be a little closer to this one!
