After a great night of sleep, I got up around 6:00 and not too long after I was tiling! There were few cuts and even less wasted tiles. It went quick - it was as if I knew what I was doing! By 1:00 the tiling was done and the photos were snapped. What an incredible difference. I am glad I did the wall by the stove as well - now it's all tied together!

While the adhesive was setting up, it was time to organize cabinets and drawers. This is such a great chore when I'm alone or if it's raining. The closer things get to being completed at the cabin, the less junk we need inside. I was able to get rid of a tub of stuff and retire it to the shed! Maybe the shed isn't the best place to move it too, but the next time it gets moved it will be going home! Twenty drawers, seven cabinets and a break for lunch and General Hospital, everything was organized and put away and it was only 4:00.

I was very happy for a visitor! It was the ACE meter reader. I talked to him about taking down some trees that are compromising the electric lines and service to not only us, but other properties. He asked me to mark the trees and said they would be taken care of within a few weeks! This was a welcomed visit because now this is one less worry for Carlo. We will still have to cut it up for firewood, but at least he won't have to take it down.

Then I made a yummy dinner of BBQ Cornish Hen and potato. Did I mention yummy already!?

I spent the evening baking and decorating cupcakes for Betty . Considering I'm not much of a decorator, they turned out cute - even though the bottoms were burnt because the oven is really old and is over 100 degrees off!

R & R was the best way to spend the remainder of the evening and I looked forward to another good night of sleep. Tomorrow is the day for grouting and a visit to Betty - mid day - for her birthday.
