Just 16 hours after getting home from the cabin, I was loading the car for my return trip. Carlo dropped off the tiles and I was on the road by 7:30. I had to stop at Home Depot for counter end cap kits. The ride went quick and it rained the entire way. I needed coffee an hour into the trip and stopped at the oasis for a Starbucks. I made it to Walmart about 11:00. I picked up a few groceries and after getting gas I got to the cabin around noon. Unloading the car and opening the cabin were first priorities and then it was lunch time. I grilled some sausage and garlic bread. While my food was cooking, our neighbor Tom stopped by to share his tales of woe.

The knobs I had ordered were waiting in the mailbox yesterday when I got home, so I attached them and rehung the doors. I like the muted colors and they look great against the dark counter, sink and faucet.

I got everything ready for the tile job which will be first thing in the morning to get started on!

Now it was time for the Arts & Crafts portion of the visit. I made a paper insert in the flower vase; since I broke the glass! and I painted the fluffy biscuit color over the winter designs that were on a basket that I am filling with pine cones!

The work I get done when I'm alone is very different from when Carlo is there. My visits are so much more - foofy!

That pretty much rounded out my day and now it's time for bed! Good night!
