Last week-end, dear friends offered to come visit and help Brent install kitchen cabinets at our cabin. Two intense days of fabrication resulted in lots of lovely space to cook up some tasty culinary creations! Here are the before, during, and after pictures. A special thanks to Bill for his expertise and hard work! We really appreciate it ALOT!
"To be Queen Elizabeth within a definite area, deciding sales, banquets, labours and holidays; to be Whiteley within a certain area, providing toys, boots, sheets, cakes and books; to be Aristotle within a certain area, teaching morals, manners, theology, and hygiene; I can understand how this might exhaust the mind, but I cannot imagine how it could narrow it. How can it be a large career to tell other people’s children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one’s own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No; a woman’s function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness."

An Asian-style luncheon: the tablesetting included black, square plates. . .gaiwans for tea service. . .and chopsticks. Forks were optional! A lavender scented candle with fortune cookies made up the centerpiece.
This week-end, dear friends visited. For one of our meals together, I enjoyed putting together an Asian-style luncheon of old favorites and some new foods.
