Thanks boxer. A bit over the top, but really pretty aspects. I have to see what I can pull from it.

How's the pup doing?

I wish it linked you to the whole kitchen!

Hi Prill,
You are too sweet to ask. She is doing okay. Her cough is
less. But then her paw is cut from the ice outside.
She is old I need to realize this is what happens to old
dogs. They are fragile. I think I am a fairly stoic person
but when it comes to dogs I just melt.

How was the puppy visit? What happened? Did you find
a new friend? Thinking of you.

And the link, I agree. I wish there were better shots.

Glad her cough is better - if it would get nice and sunny, she'd probably perk up!

The pups were adorable... My grandson, who just turned 4, had a great time holding them. I decided to pass for now. Not sure I want to do the puppy thing right now. Labs are big strong dogs and they chew and are puppies until they're 2. A big commitment.

I need to figure out where I can put the plate rack/shelf from the blue french kitchen in my kitchen! Always wanted a plate rack - so pretty. And, who would build it for me. Or could I change the cupboards over my stove to something like that? It would probably be better at the end of the room...
Also, need MORE blue accent pieces. The wheels are always churning...
