Busy days have passed and more to come

Two nights ago we went to our good friend's Erik and Daniele Milholland's house and Grace got to play with their almost 6 month old son Dylan. It was so much fun! We had dinner and several cocktails. Grace really enjoyed playing with all of Dylan's toys- any new toy is great for both she and mommy Beauchamp! They live in the same neighborhood as us which is nice- now if it would only warm up and stop raining so Grace and I could take a nice stroll to their house. Today was actually a really nice day...I do love nice weather!

We've been busy around the house. Evan installed all of our new kitchen cabinet knobs and they look beautiful. What a difference! He also hung up the pot rack over the kitchen counter- the same one we had in Funcie- and I washed all of the pots and pans and hung them. They look great too! We have a lot to do still but really have been making so much progress every day. We are hoping to install our new kitchen sink and faucet tomorrow then it's off to Wabilly on Sunday for Great Grandmother's 90th birthday party. It will be a long day of driving but well worth it. Oh and how could I forget- finally the watering restrictions have been lifted due to all of the rain we've received recently...and you know what that means right? Correct- we will be getting our sod layed next week hopefully! Gosh, I can't wait to have a nice lush lawn. I'm sure Mr. Ralph will enjoy it too. This leash business is for the birds (grin).

My mom came in to town today and helped clean up the kitchen a bit. We were planning on going to Keeneland to see live horse races but the weather didn't quite cooperate so we ran some errands instead and ate at a wonderful restaurant called Rafferty's. The food was delicious...if only Grace was a little less spirited- yes that's what we call her now. We don't want to say bad or crabby or maybe even something worse so now she is just spirited. I think tonight we both decided that we aren't going to be taking Grace out to eat again any time soon. Take out and delivery will be our new best friends for awhile and that is just fine.

Peace out-
