Turtle Sitting

We went over to our friend's house today to turtle-sit for them while they are away. The turtles got excited when they saw food coming! Well, Todd actually fed them fully yesterday, so today was only a snack. Shh... We also took the opportunity to use their fully-functioning kitchen and made a turkey potato soup for dinner. They finished staining our cabinets today. The doors and drawer fronts still need to be brought back, but here it is. This is a cinnamon-colored stain on maple wood. Todd really loves it. I think it's a little dark. But it's "his" kitchen, so I'm very happy that he loves it. :p

  2. So interesting to care for the turtles! Funny little animals. And a great opertunity to cook food. =)

    I think it is a really nice color on the kitchen cabinets. We have a white kitchen, but I was leaning towards the oak-cabinets when we choose. I like the wood-look in a kitchen.

  4. Evidently I was reading your blog a little to fast, because I read "Turtle Potato Soup" instead of "Turkey Potato Soup"...I choked on my coffee then realized that you and Todd probably wouldn't have used your friends pets to make your dinner...so I scrolled back up and tried again. I was very relieved to read the word 'Turkey'. :D

    I love, love, love the cabinets. I think they may look dark because your flooring isn't in place..cannot wait to see that groovy countertop!

    I cannot tell you how much your comment meant to me yesterday! You are one of the blessings that God has sent my way this year..and I am so thankful!
