Beach

BEACH!!!!

The beach has always been my "go to" place.  The beach was my family's destination for vacations as a child.  We would load the car and pack a picnic lunch to eat along the way since fast food was a pack of crackers at the gas station. The interstate highway systems were limited so the drive was long and hot with no air conditioning in the car.  But when we arrived it was worth it!  

The beach has also been my healing place.  Facing my 60th birthday just 2 months after losing Kenny, I headed to St. Augustine with the dogs for a week.  

And now, three years later, I am buying a house at the beach!  Well, actually it is 1 mile from the beach in the Parrot Cove neighborhood of Lake Worth, Florida.  But why would I buy a second home over 600 miles away from Quail Hollow?  Because it is warm in Lake Worth during the winter and you can enjoy the beach year round.  

So today is a big day, closing day for the Flamingo NO-tel!  

Kitchen Update

After many years of dreaming of a new kitchen, it has finally happened.  The ideas for my kitchen have been floating around for some time and after much research and shopping, my new dream kitchen is a reality.  There are so many people I need to thank and the first is my grandson, Reeves.  He spent many hours going to Atlanta and visiting every kitchen, appliance, and lighting store within 50 miles.

And then there are the folks at Southern Cabinet Works in Newnan.  Shanon was the designer and she took my ideas, wishes and must-haves and created a beautiful, working kitchen.  Jeff, Robert, and Matt built and installed the cabinets and did so with a lot of patience and expertise.  But before they could do their magic, Rich had to remove all the old cabinets, Tony had to install the lighting with all my dimmers, and Chris of Uptown Kitchens ran the duct work for ventilation.  And let's not forget Mike and Matt, the plumbers as well as Eddie the painter.  All did a fabulous job and the result is my beautiful kitchen!
