Life here is finally getting back to normal after having the bathroom renovated. Seven weeks of deconstruction/construction most of which we had no shower or bathtub facilities has made things interesting. At least the toilet was working for all but a few days....since this is our one and only bathroom, we moved out for a few days, borrowed a friend's shower on most days (thanks so very much, Wanda) and punted the rest of the time. The new bathroom is beautiful and I am very glad it is finished.
