Better Late than Never

I always try to post first thing in the morning but some days time just slips away from me! Today was one of those days.  This last week my mom starting going down hill for no reason until the doctor explained to us that the trauma of an accident coupled with the pain of a bruised hip can cause 'regression' in elderly. Not wanting to hurt she wouldn't walk which created a downward spiral.  We're working on bringing her back, but at her age it can be tricky. Her doctor ordered PT three times a week. Hopefully she hasn't had too much loss of muscle mass. 

I am delighted to report that I have finally started working on the Baron book - I still don't have a cover for you but the cover designer is sending out ideas. I'm sure it will be narrowed down soon! The only real challenge is getting words in between banging and hammering. We are taking apart my 70 year old kitchen and getting ready to install a lovely patio door where my sink used to be. I've always thought it nuts that in order to access my nice big back porch with drinks or food, I have to leave the kitchen and cross the living room to reach the back door. So silly. After 28 years of shaking my head at the architect who must have been a man--one who never barbecued--I am finally moving forward. We've had to do the project in sections and we're having to cut the budget in a lot of places, but I'm so excited to have a patio door coming soon! 

​Here's the mid kitchen photo (of course I forgot to take a good before!): 

You can see why things are a tad distracting! The window on the right is where the sink was and where a patio door will be. You might notice the shadow of the porch post through the dirty window LOL. Anyhow I promise to share more picks next week and maybe even a snippet of the Baron book. 

​If anyone has survived a kitchen remodel - I'll take any tips you have to offer!
