Finding My Feet

Well I actually know where my feet are, LOL, but what to chat with y’all about is
something new for me. Since Morgan is about home renovation –well sort of – I thought
I’d share my frustration with a friend of many many many (well you get the idea) years
new kitchen project. For a very long time they’ve been saving and shopping for a small
summer home, a central place convenient for all the adult children to gather, and they
finally found one – the catch – the kitchen is tiny tiny.

​Since I’m allergic to the kitchen, tiny works fine for me, but since she loves to bake and
cook—not so much. After weeks of designs and re-designs they agreed the one wall
needed to come down for space and flow and an island was needed for more counter
space. Of course in a tiny u-shaped kitchen the island needed to be sideways instead of
across – but it works. Except when the wall came down the opening was a foot shorter
than expected. Well, my friend was calm—I was not, lol. To me a contractor should
bring a needed design change to me before he does the work. This way I’m the one to
brainstorm options, costs, and what matters more to me, the end result or the budget.
That’s not what happened. So, in the end, the kitchen will be beautiful, my friends will be
happy, and I’ll have calmed down LOL.

It’s not hard for me to get riled up when things don’t go as expected. And I get riled up
easily for myself and the people I care about. Maybe we can convince my friend to share
before and after photos.

So this brings me back around full circle to what direction to take this in. Do y’all want
me to write about whatever is happening in my world? Or would you rather know only
about my writing? At the moment that would involve the next book, Honeymoon for
Four. It’s started and I’m excited about it – I think it’s going to be fun. I love cruises, and
it looks like there’s going to be a little make believe going on. If y’all want I can keep
you posted some on that!

​I think until I find my stride, we’ll call this a day. If you have a minute just say hi so I can
see who finds me here, and feel free to make any suggestions about things that interest
you!

Take care,

​CK
