"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime"-MARK TWAIN

Low and High Emotions

 

Not sure what to title this post.  It has been a pretty quiet week here around home.  My brother and I worked on our little rental house.

Spent most of the week building cabinets in the kitchen, baths, and utility room.  Seems most people now go to the big box store and purchase their cabinets ready made.  We still do it the old way.  We build the caseworks and hang them ourselves.  Also build the drawers and mount them.  We have the cabinet doors and drawer fronts made by a local cabinet shop, which we also install.  The countertops will be ceramic tile.  The end is in sight.

But by the end of the week, a very important event for our family had taken place.  Our little girl has moved on.  She journeyed from the dusk of her youth, to the dawn of adulthood.

There is nothing that could have made us any more proud.
