Worth Celebrating

 

Some things are just worth celebrating. A kitchen and a bathroom remodel, 3 birthdays, friendships, and the beginning of spring were all our book group needed to plan a celebratory gathering with spouses. Of course, we needed a cake

and our resident chef Bob

created this very tasty Chocolate Texas Sheet Cake, perfect for the occasion. Since his wife was recuperating from hip surgery Bob took up the task of making the cake under Cathy's expert tutelage. It was delicious, especially the frosting. 

With all the cooking I do, needless to say, this kitchen island is a dream come true with a 6-1/2 ft. spread, it's perfect for entertaining!

Good riddance to Formica counters, the ever-popular 80's look, now dated.  entertaining. And when the backsplash was added it all came together.  

Since there was leftover granite we were able to add in a bathroom remodel too.
