Headline: Kitchen Complete

Our kitchen is more or less complete and that was the big event of last week. We're still awaiting cabinet doors below the sink and new paint, but the majority of everything is complete.

We are happy with the result and after six weeks we're happy to have our kitchen back.

It's been nice to have a working kitchen again and even though it didn't seem like we added that much extra working space, it definitely feels larger. The wide countertop is great. Next month after the painting is done I'll post more pictures.

On Saturday we visited Brad's mom and dad. Allie likes Sun City and she enjoyed some time on their carpeted patio. 

Tucson gets occasional snow and we got some on Tuesday, our first here. Allie spent most of her life in the snow and I thought she might get excited by seeing it again, but it did not impress her in the least. 

The snow came down heavy and eventually stuck to the ground, but it didn't last very long and it didn't amount to much. Still, with the snow we also got an old-fashioned power outage, so the morning was dark and chilly and snowy, which felt very familiar and wonderful. I was running when it all started coming down and it was fun to be outside in it. After everything melted and the sky cleared we had a view from the front yard of snow-capped mountains.
