On Being Old--19 "D" Day plus Six Weeks

Things are coming together. The city inspector reviewed the work and gave us his final blessing. Randy, the electrician, installed the light over the stoop by the front door and the new lamppost. Wednesday found the man to put up the tiles over the counters on our doorstep.


The following day the tile man finished up, while the painters started painting the living room. This evening Mark, Dianne, and Al joined us to discuss the building of the stained glass for the shadow boxes for the ends of the island. We’re really getting into the ditty-gritty.

Only one picture today. I’m saving the final pictures for the completed project.

We’re expecting the cabinet hardware in at the end of the month. The new doors will be here about the 8th of December. Rosemary and I have begun the massive clean-up. It was so much easier taking everything down.

Next week is Thanksgiving week, and no one will be traipsing around our house. I wonder if we'll be lonely without all the different people in the house. I guess we can invite some passers-by to keep us company.

So until the final pictures, Ciao.
