The kitchen is kind of becoming cohesive. The Uhaul ride from last summer is coming back to bite. I’ve emptied out the storage room containing the contents from that 20 foot truck. As well as six months of desert dust. I may have beige lung.

Things are progressing. I just need to get the treasures to the store and into the homes of their new owners. Then figure out how I make this place my own.

The Knife Man Cometh

I debated whether to get rid of my 20 year old toaster when I left Jones Street. With two days to go it burst into flames. From wiring not food. I got a new Jelly Bean model that’s flanked by my Chatsworth ewe and Mother’s red Fiesta cookie Jar.

Supervising the dish washing: Jackie and the Windsors. The agony and the ecstasy of celebrity.

Aunt Bobbie oversees the bar and the miscellany.
