I was sitting on a bench over the river this morning and I couldn’t help but think how lucky I was. We have a nice home on the water in a pleasant neighborhood. We can afford to make improvements to make our home even more perfect for us. All those years of working hard paid off. When I was young and struggling, I never thought that I would have anything like this. I learned early that the only way to change anything was to do it yourself. Something my lousy education certainly lacked. I am as happy as I possibly can be.
Wait a minute. Did I just say that? I’d better be careful. I’ll ruin my reputation. I mean, if I were one of the seven dwarfs, I’d be Grumpy, so these feelings are kind of strange for me.
Our kitchen is coming along. We still have some decisions to make. The little round table is nice for two, but a small island would help. Sweetums was considering an attached rectangular table. Interesting. After the island, we need to consider countertops. Oh. And a hood.
