The new kitchen is done!


I love the high ceiling and recessed lighting. Here's another picture.


This picture shows the ceiling light.


I didn't take a picture of the cabinets on the other wall but they're there. I can't say enough nice things about our installer, Paul Bello. He's located in Bellmawr. If you need work done at your house, call him.
Hooray, the new kitchen in the first floor unit is done! We're going to see it this afternoon. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. If anyone needs a recommendation for a great plumber/kitchen and bathroom installer, call Paul Bello in Bellmawr. Also, I want to recommend Glen in the Turnersville Lowes store. This project could not have gone more smoothly.


I've been thinking about going to the OC First Night activities. If you're interested in going, here's a link to the web site:

Beach House News: Almost all of the summer weeks have been rented. However, the first and second floor units are both available on June 28th at $825 each and there is good availability in June and September starting at $495. Call me for your vacation week and I'll get the lease right out to you.


I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. We had all three "kids" under our roof at the same time on Christmas and the four "grands" were there as well. It was perfect. But now it's back to work and back to thinking about the coming summer. Last week, I started visiting my friends who come back each year and I started mailing those of you who aren't near enough to visit. If you don't hear from me, it's because I misplaced your address or email address. So, if you'd like to reserve a week or two, just give me a call. I'll be posting the remaining available weeks tomorrow so come on back. Okay?
