Haiti


Yesterday two of the nurses from DaVita Grapevine came over to the house to do a visit. When they were leaving, I told them I'd been struggling with some depression. They reminded me that life could be worse. I knew that, but this morning when doing some news reading online, I came across this incredible blog and thought I'd share some of it. Its a 20's age couple who got married in December and went to Haiti to teach and assist after their wedding. First, how impressive is that and second, I can't imagine going through what they are struggling with now. Anyway, their website is http://www.benandkatieinhaiti.com/.

Their is one part of their blog when she wrote "This morning at 5, same as yesterday morning, there were Haitian worship services around the neighborhood. In the ravine behind our house- where the destruction was total and Ben saw them pulling out bodies- they were singing "Count your Blessings". " Amazing . . .

On the homefront, I've finally got all the trim painted on my cabinets and the drawers painted and in place.My  home is to get the door fronts painted this week and hung.  Then they will be done.  Finally!

Been thinking about you all day today. I called the mission home and learned Heather is back in Carrollton. I bet she is missing you about now!

I would love to see what you've done with your kitchen. I'm trying to get some ideas to update mine. Have oak cabinets that are structurally sound but beat up after 25 years of constant use with a large family. Thinking of painting them white and getting a medium blackish-grey color counter top and new floor tile in a similar color. My trouble is I appreciate what I like, but have no "vision" how how to put something together on my own.
