  Ok this is a bit goofy, but this is my kitchen window and sink. I was cleaning the area and a friend wanted to know what it looked like, so here it is. In the sink is a chicken for roasting for tonight, and a turkey which will imminently be put in a smoker for supper tomorrow night at a family reunion supper. Icky 1940s Formica which will eventually be going the way of the wind when I put recycled wood on the counters. The left side of the counter will also be expanded to include a built in dishwasher. Right now it is a roll-away type, work works pretty well, but is older and isn't the best. Someday! Today I was doing a bit of "deep cleaning" in the kitchen which includes the removal of all the jar, plants and doo-dads on the window ledge and sink shelf. Anyone want to tell me where all the cobwebs came from? The lil bitty spiders? All the dust and gerb that was collected around the plants and bottles. Blech.  Those spiders didn't know when they rose with the sun this morning that they would be going on a wind tunnel ride in my Riccar vaccum. SWOOSH. Bye-bye arachnids. Speaking of vacuuming, who ever thought up the idea of textured ceilings? It had to be a man who had never done housework. Those things collect dust mercilessly. And if you try to sweep it, then all the points break off the texturing and land on your head, in the sink, on the floor, in the fish tank, on the sleeping dog, in any open container.... Well you get the idea.  I hate textured ceilings. At some point someone who owned our 200 + year old house with a 100+ year old kitchen, decided that the tin ceilings were a bad idea. Let's take them off! *weeping* I plan to put a tin or copper ceiling, or a faux finish facsimile there of. The kitchen will soon be undergoing a renovation into its Euro-county incarnation. I have been slowly planning and searching and I think I am at the 90% ready point. Now all I need is energy. D Anyone have an idea where I can get that from??                                             TTFN                                                         Kathie
