Kitchen Back Splash January 4, 2009

Amy only wanted to paint her kitchen and have Carl make her a shoe rack! Well, after taking wallpaper off the walls, painting the kitchen walls a couple times to get the right color, and the many trips to Home Depot, Lowes, I think we are about done! We made a day trip to look for tile, well we came across a Italian tile importer and they had just what she wanted! So, it has been a long road but it has been fun, and especially watching Amy's kitchen become a show piece. It has been fun being here with Amy and helping her with this project! We also painted one wall in the living room. I am trying to make her tv stand look like her new furniture. I hope that works out! She is going to have a great looking Tuscany kitchen!

We still have to grout the tile and put another coat of sealer on it and Carl still has to build the shoe rack!

I don't know if we will be done by Friday, we leave Rally Park on Friday for Fort Wilderness at Disney. The 1/2 Marathon is on Saturday! I am a little nervous but I think I have trained better than last year. Thanks to all my friends back in Elk Rapids who have helped me train! Jan Chobot for walking with me on ice, in rain and hail! My trainer Paul Wonacott who was there every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!
To Elaine my constant companion who encouraged me every step of the way! To my daughter who is the best trainer and the ultimate encourager!! I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for Amy being at my side all the way. And I can't forget about Carl who has put up with all my aches and pains and encouraging me to go for it!
Thank you to everyone! I love you all!

We are coming back to Rally Park on Monday. We will stay here until Wednesday morning then we go the Florida State Fair Grounds for the big RV Show. It goes for 4 days. Then we are coming back to Rally Park again for a few days. Then we are going to be heading out west! Unless, something changes!

Look at the Photo Album for more pictures.

We will be home before you know it!
