First I will give you the promised updates on Dad's trip to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. Evidently he's quite the social butterfly and is getting invited to peoples homes and out to dinner, and even proposed to. Yes, proposed to! Dad fell in love with Fiji and a Fijian woman proclaims her love for Dad by asking him to marry her. So far, Fiji seems to be the highlight of his trip. Of course, he has yet to get to Australia. Today he is in Ridges NZ, that's the farthest south he'll be on his trip. So far, he's had a private wine tour, a weeklong cruise in Polynesia, and he heads to Sydney on Sunday. Hopefully we'll get to see some pictures soon. Must be some technological problems with internet connections on the other side of the world preventing us from getting any pictures, yet.
And since my last post we've celebrated our nephew, Topher's, birthday. I've gone to MI and back for some apple cider and the Twilight New Moon movie release. 
My two beautiful nieces in Michigan at Uncle John's Cider Mill the day after the opening night of New Moon.

And still looking for that job...
Speaking of jobs: enter The House Project. Things are getting exciting now! The cabinets arrived, the cabinets arrived! The delivery occurred yesterday, a sunny, cold day. The delivery guys had the best weather for moving the HEAVY and BIG boxes of kitchen cabinets. I will try to post pictures before I leave the libary today.
The hardwood floors are installed (despite the radiators causing all sorts of technical difficulties - connections are too short to fit the wood underneath the radiatos, but our plumber eventually solved this headache with some "nipple" attachments), but not sanded or sealed yet. Hope this is ok. Our general contractor says this is ok.
The painting has started, well the priming at least! And I have been scouring Craigslist for dining room and living room furniture. I'm enjoying doing this (on my little phone-for-a-computer) more than you'd think. Luckily, craigslist's webpage is mobile-browser friendly and I can zip between posts pretty quickly. Now, if the posters would just reply to my inquiries!
Now to download some pictures. Wish me luck.
