Monday we went to our grand-son's T-Ball game. These kids are all 5-6 year olds so there are no "outs". Pretty much they each get to hit the ball and the last person up to bat just runs all the bases. It's fun to watch these kids, some are good at hitting the ball, some are really good at hitting the Tee, some have their mitt just waiting for the ball to come their way, some have their mitt full of sand, some run the base's and touch every one, some have to return to the previous base cause they forgot, but the funniest one was the little guy that was so intent on getting to home plate he passed the other base runners.
That night our grand-daughter Anissa came home with us. The next morning we went down to the house and while Larry and I worked inside Anissa crawled up in the bench seat in the Big Truck ans went back to sleep. That afternoon she and I went in to Lansing and did some window shopping for a kitchen table. We didn't find one but we had a good time together and that's what I wanted.
Friday night Bob & Diane invited the siblings over for strawberry short cake. Candace (gr-niece), Delilah (our newest gr-gr-niece) and Adam (Candace's BIL) were there too so they got to listen to some old people talking about the days gone by. As I was sitting there I was thinking we all pretty much grew up in this house and except for my sister Nadene (who lived in one of the tenant houses) we all have lived in that house after we were married. Like the TV show - if walls could talk - lots of memories for all of us.
OK, time for the house update. The kitchen flooring was installed on Wednesday and we really like it. That afternoon the counter top guy came and took measurements and left a zillon samples. I hate trying to visualize something by looking at a 1x1 inch sample but we finally decided and got that ordered.
Larry ran the water line for the refrig and we moved that out of the living room to the kitchen.
Than he got the gas line run for the range and set that all up.
Larry cut the baseboard and I got it painted so today we installed that and got the cabinet hardware attached. Have to pick up some screws tomorrow at Menards as the ones that came with the handles aren't long enough for the drawers.
But other than the counter top, sink and putting the microwave in above the range the kitchen is done. Here's a couple of before and after pictures.

When we get the rest done in a couple of weeks I'll take some updated pictures and share.
That's it for now. Tomorrow our good friends Donna and Grant Zinnerker arrive to spend a night here. Can't wait to see them.
Till next time.....................................
