Well here I am.  My son has come and returned to his home land Canada.  The week went by so fast.  Time seems to be slipping by us these years.  My Father said to me once, "when one is young, a minutes seems to last for ever, now in our middle years, time slips past us so fast we barely get to savour the moments". This is so very ture.

Ryan left Canada on the Friday evening and was on my door step at noon on Saturday.  Holy Crap batman!!! Of course he and his friend took turns driving and did not stop to do anything but "P"...hahahahaha....they left here after dinner on Saturday evening and entered Canada on Sunday late morning.  Ahhhhh to be young and able to flirt with the wee morning hours!  ahhhhh to be young and able to stay up ALL night....hell to be young and able to stay up half the night! hahahahah

We are now into our kitchen renovation.  Mark and the boys tore down the existing cabinets, Mark had to tear/cut out the ugly pink tile backsplash as the tiles would not let loose of the dry wall.  The wall and the old pantry has been pulled down and Mark has moved the power for the dishwashers new home.  Mark is also now ready to put up the new dry wall.  ME, well I started taking off the wall paper, but holy crap....it don't want to let go of the wall either.  I bought the stuff to remove the paper, soaked the wall, scored it and soaked it...but the paper is putting up a great fight.  I think I am going to look into renting a steamer thing to see if that will make it easier.

We have till Wednesday and then the new cabinets will be installed.  Mark will be home to if nothing else keep the dogs out of harms way! hahaha and me...I will be at work going nuts and getting all worked up so see my new cabinets.  After the cabinets are installed we will put down a new floor, and then the granite counter top should be delivered.  Of course there is painting to be done, and part of the ceiling to fix from where the wall was torn off.  When it is done, I will post a picture of my kitchen that my dear Mother paid for out of the money left to me from her passing. Thank you Mom.

Now, it is time for me to hit the sack.  It has been a couple of days since I got any good sleep and with this dust in our home, the high humidity and my broken heart with my Son's departure, my Fibramyalgia has flared up big time. I am going to take Friday off to give my self a 3 day weekend to get that frigin paper off the kitchen walls, and maybe toss on a coat of paint.  Maybe!!

Stop by once in a great while, I enjoy the comments and the visits.

Be well, keep smilin, do something nice for a friend.
