Went to Roger's Gardens today...
Comments (7)DH and I used to go there "back in the day"--before kids. I remember getting those wire baskets and lining them with moss and planting annuals all around. We sure had fun doing that, and Rogers is a really fun and beautiful place for gardeners. Do I understand it properly--it's your birthday! Well you are having a good one! Best wishes. Have a good time with all those lovely plants....See MoreWent zip lining today!
Comments (10)OMG, I'm surprised that it can be frightening . . . or that it moves you along very fast! I've been wanting to try it for many years now and we've actually been talking about a trip to Costa Rica and a couple of zip line excursions through the jungle there. Very fast? I was expecting more of a cruising speed, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery. In retrospect I guess that's where the "zip" comes in, eh (LOL)? I'm going to have to rethink my expectations, or at least get specific info and ask a lot of questions at any zip line place before I commit. I'm glad that you've mentioned this, as I had no idea! Like the old saying goes, "You can learn something new every day"....See MoreCourt today..went well, all things considered
Comments (15)"I am somewhat uneducated on what an alchohol evaluation entails, and not being much of a drinker -- I dont mean to be pessemetic, but is it something that if you have some notice, you can fake your way through it." Good question! DH asked the same thing today. He was concerned, as well. Because this is court ordered, and because it will be done at a state treatment center, ALL the court records will be sent over ahead of time. So whoever does the evaluation will have seen the police report, the GAL's report, and the court order. Don't forget, too, BM had a DWI a few yrs ago and she blew so high on the breathalyzer that she had to do a special SATOP lock-down weekend at a hotel. They only do this for people whose blood alcohol level is extremely high. This is on her record. So BM can sit there and say "oh, I don't have a problem" but my guess is that's going to be tough to argue when the evaluator has all the facts on the table. I would expect (hope) that these people are trained well and know that many addicts/alcoholics will lie and deny, deny, deny. ANOTHER added bonus to DH paying for the evaluation is that DH will also be "interviewed." This is really good! Our attorney also said the evaluator will most definitely want to meet with the GAL on the case, as well. AND we also found out that the CURRENT GAL had contacted the old GAL we had for the school district---to get his thoughts on everything--and he said BM definitely has a problem that needs to be addressed. He said that was his impression before, but that there just wasn't any concrete reason to investigate further....See MoreMy cabs went in today!
Comments (21)Thanks everyone! Seeing my cabs getting installed gave us just the push we needed to get the last of everything moved. I can't say that moving 2 weeks before Christmas--and during my son's birthday--was ideal, but we keep reminding ourselves that we're lucky to have sold our house and only have one mortgage again. kellienoelle, the cabinets are made by a local (NE Ohio) Amish cabinet maker, Joe Yoder. He's the brother-in-law of the foreman who framed our house. He worked for a cabinet company for 12 years and just started out on his own (with his dad). I'm SO happy we found out about him. His rates are quite reasonable and we can't beat the quality. They are solid maple shaker style cabs with espresso stain. Everything is soft close with Blum hardware, and the recycling center is touch activated with Blumotion. (I had wanted a foot pedal, but Joe upgrade to the Blumotion because he wanted to see how it works). 35ftcabo, they do look black in the photos, but they are actually dark brown. marcydc, that's funny about the blue tape. We knew we would do all pulls rather than knobs as part of our universal design goals, and we decided on these early in process. taggie, it is so exciting. We were at a bit of a standstill for about a month because of my health (I have a brain injury and live with severe headaches). I didn't want to make final decisions when I couldn't make a coherent thought. And now that we've moved, I'm happy to see progress again. lynn2006, I'll have to ask DH about the bulbs. I know they are energy efficient lights. I know we were thinking LED, but I think we started with regular CFLs. Originally, we were only going to have 3 cans (plus under cabs and pendants), but my health has deteriorated and my eyes are failing so we increased to 9. Not as pretty, but not chopping my hand off is more important! breezygirl, lol. I made a similar comment when I first saw them! I actually really like the gray painted cabinets and mentioned to DH that maybe we'll go that route when we need to freshen them up. They are so solidly made, I'm sure the cabs will outlast my aesthetic preferences! If I can manage to get out of my PJs today, I'll try to get back to take some more detail pictures today. The molding should be done now, I think. He thought he'd have them all in one day, but if he didn't finish, he would do so when he comes back to install my command center....See More- 10 years ago
