Long time no blog

Hello all. I know it's been a LONG time since I blogged. My husband and I bought a house last spring and it's a fixer-upper, so we've been quite busy remodeling in almost every spare moment.

Right now we're working on the kitchen, which means the dogs haven't been allowed in there for about six weeks. Einstein, whose favorite room is the kitchen because it is the source of all things good in life, is not doing so well with the banishment.

He vocally complains every time I'm in there. He seems to think that varnishing somehow involves food and he's not going to miss out one one little morsel.

The good news for us and Einstein is we just finished refinishing the kitchen cabinets, and while we still have plenty to do, it shouldn't take as long as the cabinet portion of the remodel.

What have you all been up to during my blogging hiatus?
