The Kitchen... and other stuff

I got the extra shelves for the one cubboard at IKEA plus some other goodies, and arrived home with my daughter waiting for me with her girls at the near-by playground. She had called earlier, asking if she could stop by and leave the girls with me so she could do some shopping. Would I turn such a suggestion down?

Regina drove off and I stayed with the girls at the playground a bit, then we walked to my apartment. While the girls did some drawing, I started preparing lunch. Regina returned and we had dinner (actually in Germany have our "dinner" or warm meal at noon and in the evening a lighter, lunch-type meal, unless going out). The kids enjoyed playing with some magnets on my refridgerator....



After they left, I started getting my painting done in the kitchen... and I actually finished! It really wasn't much to do.

Here is what that corner of the kitchen looked like before installing the new cubboards...



Yes, it looks like a mess.
And these are the new cubboards.... no, knowing me, it won't stay this orderly for long LOL



The handles on the doors are still missing.......

While going through some of my files on my PC, I came across another story I had written and forgotten all about! I have now added it to my collection over on my Hummingbird journal.

I sure hope all of you are having a nice weekend.

  12. Still enjoy your entries even while I'm still working on my new computer! I'm sure NOT impressed with Microsofts VISTA as I've had to go to too many places to get updates on programs so they'll work! OH, WELL ---
