Cotter Trout Dock

Adam and Lee and their Dads went on an all inclusive, two day, floating fly fishing trip in Arkansas. It was the perfect way to fish for the older gentlemen and they would all return to do it again.

They enjoyed nice weather, wildlife and very good food.

Each person was allowed to keep five fish per day. Our freezer is full of fish who are just waiting for us to have a kitchen again.


 

Kitchen Renovations: in Progress

We picked up on the kitchen renovations where we left off—how many years ago? Four?

Several weeks ago while Adam was traveling for work, I decided to kill the kitchen and started demo work. I took out all the upper cabinets. (It was HARD. They were built in place, ONTO the wall. I couldn't simply take out screws like modern cabinets. I had to break them apart to get them off the wall.)

Here's a picture as a reminder of where we're starting.

Advent Calendars 2023

 The next installment. Sometimes they include me and send a video of the unwrapping—and I LOVE it!

Kitchen Window Install

I've been dreaming of more light in our kitchen since we moved in. And finally after TWO wrong window orders (the fault of two separate companies) the third order finally came in correctly (1ft. x 4 ft.) and we got it installed!
