So whatcha been up to?

We have been just sitting around and watching the zucchini grow!!! You may not be able to see it in the picture but there are baby zucchinis in there! The cucumbers are going great guns too and the tomatos and peppers and we are even trying to grow potatoes in a pot..will let you know how that works out!

Honestly though, the zucchini watching is only our leisure activity! We have started work on the kitchen and oh my what a project. Almost to the half way point so will share some pictures of the progress so far. We started out with ugly brownish painted cupboards. The paint pallette is now light gray on the uppers with a shade darker on the bottoms.

Here’s what it looked like before we started.

Here’s a picture during the paint process.

The inside of the upper cabinets were not painted as we have zero intention of ever using them. We have plenty of storage without more ladder climbing!

And here we go with pictures of the finished uppers!

Yep that’s liquor in the cabinet–just waiting for you to visit!

Still to go–is installing the new back splash and of course painting the bottoms and the pantry that is to the right of the fridge. Today is rainy and dreary so may just take the day off or maybe we’ll get inspired to get back to work, time will tell.

A big thank you also to cousin Teresa Parrow who recommended a cleaner for our old formica countertops. Countertop Magic is what she suggested and it lived up to its name!

Businesses are gradually reopening here in Tupelo, although we haven’t gone out to eat yet, it is for sure on our to-do list , probably sooner than later if we get to “tearing up the kitchen” again!

We enjoyed watching Kaylee’s high school graduation (Lisbon) on line this last weekend. Not like being there but so glad at least the families were all able to attend and send them on their way to the future. It is an important milestone for these young people and something that should not be missed.

Thinking of you all and hoping everyone is well and prospering. Our guest room is open whenever you get the urge to travel! Keep smiling!

  1. Tupelo is the last place we would have thought to find you! Good for you for embracing change! When you do go out to eat, try Mugshots. Excellent food and nice size portions. Bud and I came to Tupelo a couple of years ago for an Alabama concert. Ate there first. What a great night with the food and music!

  2. Looks like a lot of hard work, but it is worth it. You get so much satisfaction after a job well done!
