Why do I live in Minnesota

All but one of the cabinets are in. They have to wait with the last one until I am done mudding, taping, sanding and painting. they put a new window in which is smaller than the old one. So there is new dry wall that has to go in around the window. I told them I could do the rest of it. No sense paying them to do something I can do. Yesterday I did the mudding and taping and some of the sanding. Today (after Millie's birthday party) I will finish sanding and then prime and paint. I hope the carpenter comes back tomorrow to install the last cabinet. Then all we have left is the counter top. They probably won't be here until Friday. :( Until then the kitchen will remain in a mess. I don't want to start putting anything in the cabinets until they are done. That part drives me insane as I can't really clean. I try to clean and then the carpenters come back and there is saw dust everywhere.

The weather has been beautiful! Yesterday the temps reached about 52 and today are suppose to get to 57. Now this is why we live in Minnesota. Days like this are so wonderful. You are reminded that we are done with winter and spring is on it's way. A great deal of the snow has melted already, but the rest should be gone this week. The grass will start truning green now and my perennials will start peaking through. It just puts everyone in such a good mood.

Yes, as I said, today we are celebrating Millie's 85th birthday. I got a cake and everyone else is bringing munchies and some BBQ & buns. Denver and Danielle cannot come and Randi has to work, but everyone else should be there. Any time the Kruse family gets together there is fun. A lot of the time it is at my expense though. I have dropped a crock pot full of soup, accidentally used a can of tuna instead of chicken in the chicken wild rice soup and things like that. They never let me forget all of the stupid things I have done. Oh well, what can I do. Smile and waive boys, smile and waive!
