Wow Factor

The wf words have been spoken in this household; by the certified tile installer while gently letting us know the DIY tiling started awhile back had some serious flaws. Redone and the rest completed would be soooo very expensive. So, the kitchen's partly done, glass tile backsplash will be demo'd (the d word) instead of completed. Patching and painting lie ahead.

That was my contribution yesterday; the patching part. All over the house. Draws on my artsy skills.

Incrementally, the chaos of selling and moving is shaping into semblances of ordered progression.

Valerie has a medical procedure this morning. A late sleep takes her closer to the 11 a.m. time she needs to be at the hospital without food or drink.

Elijah rides the bus here after school and Sonja picks him up when she gets Dimetrios. She is going back to work today after four days of moving activities. Seeing Elijah's smile when he comes in the door is worth the drive through howling winds.

The kitchen wow factor might not take place, but it will be clean. The appliances are the sought-after stainless steel. There is much to recommend the structures of the house overall. The front doorway is as beautiful as any I've seen. I believe it will market well when we are done.

First things first: Val back on her feet.

Looking down the street at sunset after supper as I relax outside with an ice cream cone. Spring temps are here; though I've looked at these same mountains dusted completely with snow in June.
Sunset is a wow factor.
