Be - Nice work

I like the photo- brings out a brilliant shine on the cupboard doors, and the hardware is quite nice. Do you like to use the handles after so many years without them? Here, although there are handles, I always tend to grab the bottom of the door to open and close. And consequently, the bottoms get grimmy and need cleaning. Today we went to a picnic at the Nursing Home where Uncle Walter is staying. Aunt Evelyn invited Harry and I, and Walter's sister who lives in Sundridge to attend -she was allowed only four guests, and none of her kids were able to attend. A gorgeous sunny, and hot day but a perfect day for an outside event. The Home went over and above to make the setting and day one to remember. Tables were set up all around the back park area - each covered with a white linen cloth with a smaller navy blue placed corner wise so as to serve as a table topper. Balloons, drink stations, bake sale, craft sale, penny sale, and fifty/fifty draw and a BBQ luncheon were included, but the best was Elvis live- singing and entertaining -an Elvis inpersonator that is, but very good. We sat under one of the parubalas ? (gazebos) so were shaded from the direct sun. It was a very enjoyable but exhausting day as Harry and I did a lot of running for the older ones. (haha) I was lucky to win an item from the penny sale and think you may be knowledgable Patty about this. It is a wood carving about two feet long and six inches across -like a miniature totem pole from Creative Carvings from Pinawa Manitoba. The creators name is Peter Symchuk as per the professional card attached to the carving. Do you know this artist / or his work? There is a price tag on the piece that reads $200.00 and I wonder if I might have lucked out in winning a real prized item? Other than this exciting event, life goes on with many trips to Mothers this past week- her regular ministry funded homemaker who comes on Wed mornings for one hour, was on vacation so I did the extras which included changing the bed linen, wash, and doing the kitchen and dining room floors. Lots of fun always. Tomorrow we should be able to stay home which will be good to catch up here before the next week arrives and we start all over again. So, Patty, have fun with your cupboards and kitchen to contend with, and Cathy, enjoy whatever is on your agenda. Take care
