The Resistance

We had such a great Halloween weekend here in Ohio. For the last couple of weeks the weather has been perfect. Warm days and occasional rain.   On trick or treat night the weather was dry and warmer than the last few years so we really enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and seeing the Halloween decorations.  This morning I walked my little one around the block and noticed most of the trees are naked. A lot of leaves on the ground even though we had a truck last week that picked them up.

Almost Done

I think we won't have to wash dishes tonight. Walls and cabinets are painted but the granite only comes after tomorrow, some kind of problem and they'll need more time. I'm so happy they called me to let me know RIGHT AFTER WE TOOK OUR OLD ONES OUT,  old sink and counter top laying outside in the rain : -(  Acho que hoje não vamos ter louça para levar. Paredes e armários pintados mas o granito só vai chegar depois de amanhã por algum imprevisto na fábrica e só me avisaram agora, depois de termos colocado pia e balcão pra fora. Ainda bem que falta pouco pra terminar esta renovação.
