Happy Anniversary

It looks like on the 30th anniversary of living in my home on 5th Street, we will be doing an overhaul, a major overhaul. It's amazing to me that we have made things last this long, all the while raising 5 kids here. Patti even lived here as a young adult. We have worn this place out!
I still have the original carpet, it should be called wonder carpet. I have cabinets that are hanging by a tread or hinge. My oven door doesn't stay on and has threatened to harm small children and animals. My furniture is a real treat, held together by bungee cords and instead of a real handle we use a wrench for our reclining pleasure. I ripped up the kitchen floor one night, thinking that would spur us forward, and have lived with concrete ever since. I saw on some HGTV shows that concrete is really chic when used in homes. Mine is not.
I am on the very verge of ordering my kitchen cabinets this week. Tomorrow I will pick out appliances, beautiful ones. I have a contractor picked out and ready to go. I am so excited, this has been many years in the waiting. I look forward to having a really big celebration when everything is completed.
