Jon & Kathy

If  you haven’t heard, my wife and lime sized baby are in Germany. I just got a call from Kathy and she is sitting in her mother’s kitchen. She was eating some kind of spaghetti with gravy of some sort. It may not sound great, but everything that Kathy’s mom makes is excellent. 

She’ll be gone for the next 21 or so days… yeah, I know. I’ll be busy for at least the next week. That is about the extent of how long I can keep myself occupied. I plan to finish the drywall, ceiling texture, paint the ceiling, prime the walls (not sure on a wall color yet), set the new cabinets and stove in place, run gas for the stove, finish building the bedroom furniture, rebuild the outdrive and engine in dad’s boat… and thats about it. A pretty slow week .

The boat and furniture will actually stretch over the next couple of weeks, but the kitchen is easily finished in the next week. When Kathy gets home we’ll pick a wall color. She’s not only visiting, but she’s also scouting out wall and floor tile. We’re hoping to import the tile as it is MUCH cheaper in Germany, but the shipping costs offset the savings. Good news: the tile is of a much higher quality and looks much nicer than what you can get for the same amount of money here. We’re excited about it.

Anyway, Kathy still has access to the Internet, so feel free to comment here and she’ll get it. Or email her directly.  I’m sure she would be happy to hear from you. 

Last comments…

1. The little girl cat, Abby, wouldn’t sleep in the bed last night. She stayed up all night waiting for Kathy. 

2. I have a shopping list and I need someone more familiar with the grocery store to pick some things up for me. 

3. I hope someone laughed a little at the post title.
