Election Day & Kitchen Construction 5



Today poor Kent III was sick. He just wanted to lie in bed and snuggle with me. And for a super battery powered always on the go kid, that really goes to show you how sick he was. Fever, sniffles and runny nose: nothing too serious but enough to make him slow down.

Yesterday we had the roofer come and start roofing the remodel. After Sunday's rain storm almost all day and scrambling to borrow tarps to cover everything, it is nice to have the roof finished.

This is what the roof looked like yesterday in the morning:





This is what the roof looked like today in the afternoon:





The shingles don't match our existing roof shingles but in the next couple of years when we have to replace the old roof, this is the color we want.

In the late afternoon this was the scene from my front porch:



If you look closely you can see that the lower hills (under the clouds) don't have any snow on them. :)

By late evening we had a bit of snow on the cars. Nothing that stuck to the sidewalks or grass but it was snow nonetheless. :) Guess we got the roof on just in time!



Kent and I took turns voting tonight rather than bundling up Kent III and dragging him along with us. In the world we live in and especially being a woman, I am grateful for the opportunity to vote, to know that my voice matters. The person I voted for as President didn't win and I get a little nervous when I think about the next 4 years but I do marvel at the wonderful, inspired country we live in and I hope for the best. I hope you took the opportunity to voice your opinion tonight as well.
