Hi Harold Congratulations.. YOu have been really very inspirating and motivating for us. Wow..you look slim and healthy now. I hope you got your Diabetes also under control. I have really slowed down these days. Also I forgot my password to this forum. So Could not communicate with you guys. I was actualy in the maintenance mode from september.I managed pretty good in the Holidays with out gaining any weight. But the new year and the Feb really messed up my routine. I am 130.6 now. So gained about 2.6 pounds from last time I posted my weight. It is this time of the last year that I stumbled upon this group of ours and started my weight goal with you guys. I lost 20 pounds from March 2009 - November 2009. I reached my pre-pregnancy weight. I am so happy that we could find each other and reached our goals. All I was doing was keeping count of my calories and walking or doing some physical activity for about 40 minutes. I hope to start again, losing weight in a healthy way. Hi silversword, how are you doing? Nice to see you again . Cheers Jasmi

Wow that is dark green. And you had the wash out from the bad storm right?

Thanks everyone for such lovely comments. I’m so thankful for this renovation. Considering the year we’ve all experienced - it’s so lovely to have such a well organized used space with all the increased time at home. @prairiemoon - sorry I missed your question earlier. I love the drawers in the lower cabinets. Makes emptying the dishwasher so efficient and everything can be seen at a glance. Totally recommend.

Thx Diana and everyone else for their input. I’m debating between merlin solid light gray or the island granite. I want light water but I’m in ny and lots of grass and trees so I thought of it was too white it would look out of place. I also have medium gray coping so both would blend well but the island granite prob the closest. I’m nervous it’s going to be too dark
