So we are one step closer to our remodel. The original architect on the remodel of our house came over yesterday to walk the house, make necessary adjustments (thank you Eliana for already doing this), and make the plan officially ours by putting my name on it. On a separate note, on my way out of the house today a large (for being in my kitchen) reptile (alligator lizard or snake) slithered across the kitchen and under the stove. I was unable to either catch it or see it well enough to identify it properly. Ahh, warm spring-timey weather. Lots of spiders and other creatures… I’ll keep you posted (with pictures!) if this scaley neighbor reappears.
