Fall is here!

Last week when we got the rain from the hurricane, we went from using the AC one day, to fall the next! And we went to turn the heat on this weekend, only to find that the new thermostat only had setting for cool and off! Called the HVAC company, who came right out. It was a setting that hadn't been enabled by the crew who installed the thermostat. We've actually been running the heat due to pressure from the cats.

I need another pic, this is done except for the (boring) backstitching.

I was up in the middle of the night, didn't see Tina, sat down at the computer, and she moved and startled me. Wacky cat, she's on the corner of the computer desk, tucked away in the back.

New kitchen set comes this afternoon! Bar stools are ordered, will match the chairs. The table collapses down to a round one, and the leaf is self storing!

The countertop people will be here this morning to make a template! And the countertop will be installed in two weeks! The project manager is ordering a piece of trim for above the range hood, below the cabinet. They couldn't attach the range hood because of where the  vent is.

The corner cabinet that was ordered wrong couldn't be sent back because it had been installed, so we repurposed it! The toe kicks have been ordered, and the trim has to be installed. It'll either be where the microwave lives, or where the keurig lives, we haven't decided yet.

Cruises! We booked them! In June, Ralph and I are going from Vancouver to Whittier Alaska on the Coral Princess! And since he won't fly, we're staying on board and cruising back to Vancouver! And yesterday we booked the Norwegian Gem for October, from Quebec to Boston! Steph and Dan are doing that cruise with us. So three weeks of cruises for us next year! 

Soon I'll be able to put my kitchen back in the kitchen, and cook again! Soup, I want to make soup!
