Even more with the kitchen

I told Corey that the second we get a new oven I want this crazy island oven thing out of here! I have had it! I don't care if there is a spot with no flooring for however long it takes to get flooring in. The island is driving me crazy. We can't function in the kitchen with that thing blocking our way all the time!

Okay, So last time I told you I was moving the oven where the refrigerator is so that means I need to find a new place for my refrigerator. I would love to get a bigger, not so deep, one. Maybe just longer. If they make them like that. And I really want crushed ice (preferably the kind like at Sonics, please) and water.

I am going to put the refrigerator right here. Right in front of that window. We will just make a wall there.

I know. I will be losing my window and that REALLY makes me sad. But I am doing the best I can. Also I decided we would get a glass back door and that would help. And with new overhead lighting that will keep things bright.

Have you ever heard of a house with 5 ceiling fans? What the Chicken? That is what our has.

Also, even though I have been told it isn't worth the pain, I know we can make this window bigger...

What do you think? Sounds good huh? So far none of these things will be too costly. Minus the new oven. But I have to do that part regardless. I heard you can sometimes find good doors on Craig's list, so keep your eyes out for me.... (Emily)

I have the solution....knock out the back wall completely and extend the kitchen south about 10-12 feet withs new windows all along the south wall (like a sunroom) and french doors and lay your own hardwood floor, a new island with a bar seating for 8, and you'd still have room for a formal diningroom in the northeast corner. Hmmm.....but where to put the fridge....; November 28, 2010 at 12:41 PM

I know that when they build the houses and construction companies donate items, a lot end up at the restore. You can find all types of building materials including doors and everything is way cheap. Check online to see the closest one to you.; April 8, 2016 at 1:34 PM

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

When the real history of mankind is fully disclosed, will it feature the echoes of gunfire or the shaping sound of lullabies? The great armistices made by military men or the peacemaking of women in homes and in neighborhoods? Will what happened in cradles and kitchens prove to be more controlling than what happened in congresses? When the surf of the centuries has made the great pyramids so much sand, the everlasting family will be standing, because it is a celestial institution, formed outside telestial time. The women of God know this. --Neal A. Maxwell

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
