Hi everyone! I'm still around -- just haven't had time to put together a post. First things first; I'm so, so sorry that I haven't been by to visit my dear fellow blogging friends! I have to say that this situation is taking a little getting used to. 😉 I do love having Mr. Forest Manor here during the day, but... it certainly changes my schedule. I consider this a rehearsal for retirement; we're in training, I suppose. 😜 Anyhoo, with both of us here all the time, we're consuming an awful lot of food. Suffice it to say, I've probably gained back every pound I had lost last year. Sigh. At any rate, the kitchen is definitely getting a workout. I'm constantly thinking that I'm so thankful we had the re-model done in 2012, and I'm glad we gave careful thought to our new storage spaces, in addition to the new sink, stove, and dishwasher.
