Anne,

Ahhh remodeling is so costly!  We have been able to buy some nice peach 
marble at Home Depot at a good price, and a marble sink and cabinet and 
toilet at a local Home Improvement store for a fair price.  I told them I 
could get it at HD in color for a lower price than they were charging.  They 
called HD gave up on confirming it and sold it to me at the less $60 price.  
It was trued what I was told at HD, but it is nice to give the business to a 
local store.

My order of seeds from Johnny's and Kitchen Gardens arrived today so I am 
greatly cheered.  All work on the clean up and repairs came to a screeching 
halt on Dec. 24.  Well, Monday it's back on the phone to get the roofer here, 
and the clean up crews and mold control underway.
