So, it's Thursday and the clouds are still here, it's not raining, however, so I guess that's a dim bright spot. Tomorrow, things will be a little brighter. Partial sunshine will do that, however as we move into the weekend rain showers and possibly a soaker or two will move back into the region. Temps will spring into what are consider normal highs and lows for the season.
One of the things that's bothered me about my trip to Greece was the return flight. Having to wait in Madrid for 13 hours before my return flight to the states was irking. I'm not a sitter, or waiter, and having to do so weighs heavily upon my impatience. Doing nothing. Ugh. And since the layover was from 11 PM until 12 the next day, it wasn't as if I could leave the airport and take in a single, solitary sight. So, I revisited the return flights and discovered that if I left Athens at 0830, I could be back in the states on the same day. Realizing this, I had no problem in changing my return itinerary. Now, I'm leaving Athens at 0830, and flying to Heathrow, where I'll have a 4 hour wait, until flying to Philadelphia. Believe me, cutting out that 13 hour layover turned out to be such a relief.
Here are two pictures of my new, old kitchen. I still need to put the quarter round down, and there are a few touch-ups I need to get the paint brush out for, but otherwise it's finished. I'm pleased with the way it turned out. The flooring is Lifeproof, Chelsea Pond and, as I might have expected, it's a color that is no longer sold. Good thing I bought 2 extra boxes.
