OK, it's been quite awhile since I posted last. It's not that we haven't been doing anything -- really, we have! -- but there have been some other factors. I mentioned that Dale had pulled a muscle, well -- it turns out he may have herniated disks. So...that has slowed us down a LOT of course, he's been getting all kinds of various therapies and treatments for that. And in the meantime, my daughter Leslie had her baby! Our first grandchild! So I had to rush out of town for that, of course!
isn't he adorable!? of course he is -- Parker Jameson Reed, born on April 16 (his due date, his mother is VERY organized!).
So I had to rush out and be there right away ... but because the IKEA sale ended on April 28, I knew I'd be out of town and so before I left, we ran off to IKEA and ordered our cabinets. I told Dale he could go do it, but he wasn't about to fall for that one. So they were ordered, and delivered while I was gone. When I got back, this is what I was greeted by:
189 boxes. This view actually looks pretty good. And the reason it looks so good is because Dale cleaned out the garage so there would be plenty of room to put everything.
We spent some time this afternoon putting some of the cabinets together. We're going to finish up tomorrow with the cabinet boxes, then I'll take some more pictures. It's pretty overwhelming, but working a bit at a time, we're getting through them.
We did manage to save 20%, nearly $1000, so that made the last minute trip to IKEA worth it.
The other thing that happened while I was gone was that we had some really windy days, and we lost a couple of big branches off our lemon tree. Our lemon tree is already rather sad looking, and it has a LOT of fruit on it, so the windy days were a little more than it could handle. We have a couple of baskets of lemons to give away --
OK - one last picture of our adorable grandson:
