Here's a view of the southeast corner. Our stove and dishwasher are back and we've GOTTEN TO USE THEM! Everyone was very excited about that new development. There will be a butcher block counter there to the right of the stove. That counter is in my hallway at the moment.

As I am publishing these entries, I notice the text is all mashed up against the picture. I do not know what is going on in blogger. All I can say is this new version of blogger operates a little bit differently every time I use it and this time, it makes me log in for every single entry. This is very annoying. Maybe I'll come back tomorrow and try to reformat these and see if the process is any different. I hope this isn't their last and final version.
