Oct 18th-20th Nonsense, Change a Room and Where's the Coffee???

So, it's a three-meal-deal in one, my friends.


First the nonsense. It's been crazy, Grandma-Dora-ish around here. Just random things like moving office stuff into the new office, finishing painting, our first sewing of the season, finding cooks for the Villa, dentist appointments, filing GST, PST, payroll deductions, etc. It's this grand dance I call my wonderful life. I send one boy off to work at the chicken barn one or two days a week and to his uncles welding shop another day or two a week. I send another boy off to school by himself. And the littlest one, oh, the littlest one. He keeps us all on course.


Of course, I'm dreaming of changing up my kitchen. It's for one person, square, with the tight little walkway going right through it. I picked it out as a young bride of 20, with no inkling whatsoever of what I'd like in a kitchen. It's the oak look of the 90's which is turning orange in it's age. It had a lowered ceiling which we removed a few years ago but it still sports a fancy scallop border above the window. That would be one of the main things I would like to remove. Then I would paint it white-white-white and get long straight black handles to match my laundry room and do new countertops the same as my laundry room as well, huge marble-look laminate. I think some white subway tile or little white hex tile or something for a backsplash would finish it off. Then I'd add the bright splashy colors that I love, like a huge blue and green plate displayed in one corner and my aqua box Colby built me in school that houses my prolific stack of cookbooks.


And coffee? I love a good coffee and I'm a little picky about it. Of course, I would enjoy any coffee you served and friendship is definitely more important to me than coffee. But. BUT. Fresh ground coffee beans cannot be beat. I love French press coffee and a nice glug of rich cream. I love flavored coffees but I'll skip on flavored creamers and sugar. And this all being said about coffee, I really love a good cup of tea and my sister Penny beats all in making tea. Hers is THEE very best. And so, coffee in the early morning, chai tea in the late morning, some flavored healthy THM tea in the afternoon and maybe a sleepy time tea before bed. It's all good.
