#100happydays (Day #2)

Our kitchen....

Hmmmm, I had a bit of a rough day today. I was really looking forward to a nice walk with my friend, Tracy, and her two dogs. She was also dog-sitting for two other families so she had six dogs to bring.  Not too far into the walk, her Boston Terrier got stung by a fire ant became increasingly distressed due to the pain.  We took turns carrying the dog until we got back to the cars.  After that, I took the dogs (just my two dogs) to get Round 2 of their Rattlesnake Vaccinations at the vet hospital.  We are good to go for a year.  Yay!

After bathing the dogs, I had to run to town to mail packages at the post office.  It's tourist season. It's just too crowded on the roads and, I kid you not, it seemed as if I witnessed at least a half dozen near car accidents in the space of about 3.5 miles.  I kept trying to not let this stuff make me grumpy but it really had me torked.  I went to the knit shop to knit just a bit with my friends again and then I was off to the grocery store.  Ugh, more bad drivers along the way and the store was super crowded.  I kept telling myself to TRY to not let this stuff get to me, but I was really struggling.  I had to hurry home to make an appointment at 2:00 pm. 

The appointment went great!  We had a man come to the house about estimates for granite counter overlays in the kitchen.  We were so impressed by the salesman, Ryan, and also impressed by the product.  It's a man-made product which is 95 percent granite and 5 percent polymer.  It's not porous
and requires no sealing like granite does.  It's also sturdier and is guaranteed for life.  We had no trouble selecting what granite we want to use in the kitchen and the price was agreeable to us. We decided to have the salesman take a gander at our bathroom as we were considering a shower enclosure in the master bathroom.  I think I am in LOVE with the selections we made for the bathroom even MORE than the kitchen.  And since we were giving the company a good amount of business, they said they would complete the second bathroom countertop and add a new sink for just $100.00.  And the beauty of this company's product... it all gets installed in one day!

 

Our icky shower...

 

These house fix ups are long overdue. We've lived here 22 years and the kitchen and bathrooms were in dire need of some sprucing up.  We are spending more money than we'd like, but hopefully we'll see a return on our investment someday when we sell our home.  In the meantime, I KNOW we will enjoy these really nice improvements in our home!

Happyness is... looking forward to sprucing up the home I love so much!
