"Patience Grasshopper"Sunday, September 25, 2011: Today was the day that my Uncle Howard proclaimed we would "be walking on new floors by the end of the day." Reality check: Murphy's Law happens! The flooring nailer was jamming, made a return, bought another brand {a better one} and 8 hours later we are walking on a portion of completed flooring. One quarter of 400 plus square feet to be specific.
Note: The title is something my dad enjoys telling me on almost a daily basis at this point (it has been a long 10 weeks & we still don't have a kitchen). However, with his slight awkward accent, "Patience Grasshopper" has become his Confucianism motto & it makes me smile, laugh, & appreciate all the hardwork our family has put in to make this kitchen a dream come true (well until I have to wash the dishes again ~ outside in the rain).
