Pink Slip Party

Plating Food

Uncork the Wine

Great food, friends, and wine on a beautiful day. What more do you need? How about a bunch of themed tables along the block by the park. This was the first year we hosted a table at Dinner on the Avenue with our friends at Infusion Tea.
No gloom and doom here. Our pink slip party included lots of pink tulle, pink cupcakes and rose wine. Next door, our friends at Studio Cara were gold diggers manning the Bailout table. We helped them hand out stimulus money.

All is Forgiven

1,200 lb Delivery


AM Kitchen

PM Kitchen

Today is a beautiful day! We went to the west coast for a mini-vacation and got back into town around 10 AM. I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw that my garage was open. You have no idea how many times I circle the block (at least three times a week) just to make sure that the door is closed. Then it hit me, my granite guy is here.

All is forgiven. The granite looks fabulous. My choice in colors was limited to his inventory, so I told him that I wanted black. I didn't know if it would be uba tuba, verde peacock, absolute black, etc. Those that know me realize what a leap of faith it is for me to purchase something sight unseen. For the record, I wanted a black black and that is exactly what I got. It matches the cooktop too.

I'm going to enjoy this moment and report back on the minor details some other day.

On Again, Off Again Relationships

Contractor relationships, sometimes it is like getting back together with an old boyfriend. Should you go down that road again? It is really worth it? I'll find out tomorrow. One week turned into two weeks and today's text indicated that the countertops are done.
