turning your orbit around

or... the utter enormity of the task

i am a well-fed motherf%#er

jenn's dad and grandma are visiting. so far, we've made a trip to avon (vail) colorado for a shopping trip to the home depot. we've gutted the downstairs bathroom, taken out cabinets, sink, drywall. we've resized and reframed the door. we're rewiring and redoing the plumbing all with the goal of getting our stackable washer/dryer into this space. additionally, my dad and i are installing a screen door for our front door.

surprisingly, it's going pretty swimmingly, and my father-in-law really knows his shit.

my grandmother-in-law cooked the most amazing grandmother meal tonight, and i was transported momentarily to my grandmothers' kitchens: pot roast with carrots and potatoes, homemade crumbled noodles, homemade gravy, crescent rolls, green beans with ham and bacon grease (blech), and freshly sliced homegrown tomatoes.

wow.

David,

So glad I am not the only one who is transported back to Mam-Maw's kitchen! Sometimes I can close my eyes and smell chicken frying! And funny you would mention bacon grease - I would give an arm for Mam-Maw's green beans cooked with bacon grease!
