Inside Out
A nice picture of my new kitchen . . . . and my sister's purse! 
Location! Location! Location!
Peter is right! It's the location that makes this wait worth while!

Alberta Clipper
An Alberta Clipper zips through Washington, D.C. this afternoon. This will increase our clouds and perhaps bring us a snow or rain shower. This is about as close to "winter" that we'll get (at least this week.) Cooler today with highs in the low to mid 40s.
On the construction front: I have chosen my kitchen and bath colors and today received carpet samples. (I have lost the carpet vs. hardwood floor battle, for now.) The choices are pukey green, barfy green, poopy beige, dung-y brown, and wishy-washy cream; I chose the cream. All my choices are as white or beige as possible, except for kitchen appliances, which are black. I love my black stove; it shows no dirt at all!
