Kitchen update

My kitchen is coming along. It is very exciting for me. Yesterday, Jeff came and tore out the countertops. New ones are coming Monday. He also removed the old stove that literally blew up a few weeks ago. It was scary to see the scorched area behind it when it came out. Thank goodness we did not have a fire at that time. My new stove arrived yesterday morning. It looks great, but still mostly in the box, in the living room, until Monday when the countertops are finished. I opened the top of the box for a sneak peek, and a measurement to make sure it is the right one.
In the evening yesterday, Dan and Becca came over with the kids. I enjoyed their visit very much. Christmas just keeps coming. I love that Christmas service gift from our children! I have been ill, and even for weeks before, did not feel good, so I have not been able to do the yard work I generally do. Danny pulled up a ton of wild grass in my little floral spot in the front yard. It is all ready for planting now. He and Ralph also loaded up the old stove, the countertops, the dishwasher, and other assorted junk from the yard and hauled it off for us. That feels good! While I have been down, Ryan and Becky have gone shopping for me. They also rented DVD's for me to watch, and Becky made me some soft food to eat. She's taken dogs out, and come over and kept me company for a while every day. I'll be using her kitchen now and then until next week. Good thing she's close. I have loved that. Thank you everyone! I love you! I am feeling a lot better now, and expect to be back full steam soon.
