(And if I had a dime for every time my late mother-in-law talked about hoping to win the lottery, I would be rich--she was so cute! Actually, all of her kids have inherited that from her.

But the thing is, when the kids are all home and there are so many kid-centered expenses, you can't afford new kitchen cabinets! :)<br /><br />Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-43921737368287007212014-08-11T11:19:40.830-04:002014-08-11T11:19:40.830-04:00Couldnt**Couldnt**Gabrielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859775288211259185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-49855507023811144172014-08-11T11:18:32.654-04:002014-08-11T11:18:32.654-04:00The car looks great for being that "old"...The car looks great for being that "old"! :-) Oh goodness, my mom is almost an empty nester (one left) and this time I went home, she had replaced all the kitchen cabinets, stove, etc. My siblings and I joked that we could find anything (things were rearranged as she pleased)!

It probably won't be tear-free; but I'm really praying that I learn to accept it--especially since they seem to all be settling far from us (so far--you never know how things will pan out, I guess).<br /><br />There's a guy working in my kitchen as I write this, and he's already removed all the old cabinet doors! He says he'll be finished by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m.! :)Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-31219918352849122892014-08-11T09:39:30.656-04:002014-08-11T09:39:30.656-04:00I love before and after shots!
