Okay, Johnny. I just walked around the house with the camera and shot these. Every one of my plants are in at least one of these pictures. Cherokee Gold with Spudakee, plus Kimberly on the left side in the black nursery pot. There's about a dozen little jalapenos in there Closest to the tree is Zagadka. I call this area "The North Forty". So, Johnny, did I cover your request??? I REALLY, REALLY GROW EVERYTHING IN CONTAINERS. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AND, Here's a little more lycopene porn. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Outdoor Girl has the promise of future harvest. I think fruit set is going well. This is RamapoF6 Ted

I'm being very hopeful and I appreciate all the prayers. Yesterday DH bought some Chicken Breast and Dusty was eating it like there was no tomorrow. He also drank a little more water and used his litterbox this morning. He still has the diahrrea so I am hoping the vet will tell us it's just a virus or something. Won't be able to update you until Monday as I don't have a computer at home. Wish my Dusty luck tomorrow. SamKaren your resident DJ

I'm glad you were able to get him into the vet. This can't be easy for you, good thoughts and prayers for Dusty. Sue and Izzi too

Hi Scrappy25, I'm not sure how tall the soffits were but they seemed huge! We took down two soffits. One soffit was in a wall that we took out (now it's an archway and a peninsula). What you see now is just trim - we just ordered some stuff and played around with what would look best above the cabinetry. I definitely knew I wanted top of the molding to match the rest of the house, so the carpenter recreated the original molding for the new space - we just needed to fill a small gap (since the cabinets were semi but not custom),so that's when we played around with other molding pieces. The space between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling is nothing compared to the soffits that were there before. The house is 1940 - so nothing is even. So everything was a challenge! However, we had to leave the soffit above the sink - I just had the carpenter make the soffit itself smaller - then we added trim over the soffit above the sink. That's why the two walls look different if you're really staring at them. But most people come to the house and just love the overall kitchen. I'm really happy with how it turned out - we did the best we could with what we had, under a certain budget. It's always a game of give-and-take! The hood - I believe it's the AK2500S Zephyr Power Series Hurricane 30" Under Cabinet Hood. God luck, and happy kitchen planning!
