Flying High as a Kite

Yesterday, the weather was miserable. We had a mix of snow, freezing rain, slush and lots of wind. I had a few errands to run, but quickly realized it was not worth the risk of driving in such conditions. I spent lots of productive time sewing for Lucas and Sofia ( I will post pics later).

Anyways, I woke up today to a brilliant sunshine! I was so excited and energized. I went to run some errands in Cowansville and then got even more excited when I bought a waffle maker. It may sound silly, but I have always wanted one. Now with a big kitchen, I thought I could splurge and get one. So, I carried on with my errands, picked up lunch and went off to the construction site.

Once I arrived, my excitement only grew as I arrived. Gilles has progressed quite nicely on the basement.  Below, you can see the closet doors that we have put along the South wall. We will have lots of storage and it will look pretty as well

Appliance Delivery: If I wasn't already excited enough, the appliances got delivered minus the microwave which will come at a later date. We were a bit concerned that the delivery truck would not be able to make it up the hill, but with a little help from Gilles, the delivery guy, and ice pick and a shovel, all was well.

The appliances are more beautiful than I remember them. I can't wait to start using them. My cooking experience is about to soar to great new heights. Now, all I need are the kitchen cabinets (March 15) and the kitchen counters.

Finally the big truck made it up the driveway

The only way to get the fridge in was to unpack it outside

No using a dolly for these strong men

Can't wait to use this cool oven

Can't wait to use this dishwasher. No more hand washing for me

 Chulita updates:

Chulita has recently realized she can walk on snow since it is packed down quite a bit. She thinks she is the bees' knees. She supervised the delivery high on her snowbank. She is now busy exploring the land high above and loving every minute
