I had to work for a little while in the morning and while I was gone, Tom and Dad cut shelves to make extra ones for my cabinets in the kitchen. By the time I got home from lunch Mom and the guys had the kitchen tore apart! I wanted to take everything out of the drawers and cabinets and start over. I never really did a very good of putting the kitchen together when we moved in so I thought it was very organized. Mom is the best kitchen organizer I know so I was so glad that she agreed to help me. We put 3 extra shelves in and moved around some things, and my goodness I have so much more space now, I can hardly believe it. I am sooooo happy at the way it worked out. She even got the rest of my shelf paper in that I started 2 years ago! Thanks Mom!!!
After the kitchen fiasco we decided to conquor the flower beds. Dad and Tom got mulch and then we went to town with the planting. In front of the mailbox we went back to the petunias like I did last year. Last year I planted red, white and blue. This year I decided to celebrate the good news with some pink, white and blue!!! I know it's corny but I like it and that's all that matters! There aren't too many of the blue ones blooming yet but in a couple of weeks, its going to look fantastic!

In the bed under the cedar trees we went for some random flowers that I can't remember the names of but Mom said that they would do well in the sun and are hard to kill so they are perfect for me. They also looked real pretty! We also picked up a little metal statue yesterday at the Old Time Pottery that just goes perfect out there. It was a lot of work but Dad and Tom dug the holes and Mom and I put the flowers in. It looks so much better now with a little life added to the spot.
After flowers and getting cleaned up all of my workers earned some nice cocktails! Tom had his usual Southern Comfort and Sprite, Dad had his 7 and 7 and I invented this fun cocktail for Mom which I had the non-alcholic version for myself... You should try it, its yummy. 1/2 cranberry-pomagrant juice, 1/2 sprite with a splash of orange juice and for Mom, a shot of vodka.
We barbequed some hamburgers and hotdogs and sat by the fire for a couple of hours. It was a nice evening and a good end to a very productive day!
