Where did the summer go?

Looked at the calendar this am and cannot believe that school starts in a week - sat down with my tea and wondered where the summer went! This was to be the summer of relaxation, beach, no over scheduling, work on the house, get a kitchen....looks like we were successful on some - not so on others!

Kitchen o'Kitchen on mine...where are you and will you ever get done! Let me be clear we have all of the parts ready....we have a beautiful old slate sink, a wolf stove (story for another day!) the refrigerator, dishwasher, double oven, warming drawer - apparantly we have enough appliances to make up for the lost time without the kitchen -we have the inspiration pictures of what we want our "old new" kitchen to look like and the vibe we want....we even have a top 10 list going of the foods we want to make once we are all set up. The journey is a little tougher because Michael wants to build the kitchen cabinets and all.....and I want to make sure we have it before the holidays... now is the time to either wish me good luck or say what are you thinking??? I'll keep you posted...

Thankfully we were successful in the other areas this summer - in fact, I realize we are really good at relaxing!
