a not-so-dramatic before and after....


 Before....we painted our kitchen cabinets from the orange-y oak, a few years back...but oh my, even with frequent cleanings, they were getting dingy.  

This is the same color paint!  This time we didn't go through all the rigamarole of taking them down and carefully rolling on the paint with cabinet paint rollers, removing the hardware, ect.  No, this time it's just me, myself, and I, so it's just a nice little paint brush and some paint.
Miss Camille got Achilles dressed in his Micky Mouse pajamas after his bath...
Rhys after her bath...
We walked to the playground...Rhys was very tired.



We made them eggs, bacon, and toast for dinner, and boy did they eat it!  Achilles ate his whole egg, bacon, and three toast halves!

They went to bed nicely after their baths...Achilles got to stay up for a while, but he hadn't had a nap, and was so tired, he wanted to go to bed, takes after his grandma.  Camille and I had some quiet time, and actually had a good night sleep in the guest room at Kathryn and Darius' house.

This fine morning, we went to the thrift store after PT, with our friend Linda who just moved back to the area from Missouri, she lived here years ago.  We talked and shopped and looked around...I found a few things for the grandkids, Camille found a nice tea pot, worth a bit, but she wants to keep it.  She looked it up while we were in the store, we paid four dollars for it, it sells for $50 to $90.  I told her she should start her own business.  

In the never-a-dull-moment department, Cam has developed a strange rash on her shoulders, and her nurse sisters are worried, so a call to the dr tomorrow...prayers, please!

We've lived in our house for 26 years now. The cabinets were outdated when we moved in and we have yet to do anything with them. They are a darker brown. I'd love to go lighter, maybe even white, but hubby is a smoker and I'm not a frequent cleaner so they'd probably look yellow in a week. LOL! At least the dark color hides all that better.
