The kitchen's getting very close to being done now. We're planning on finishing up the paint tomorrow. After that, Vern will do some trim above and below the cabinets, and that will be just about it! Here are some pics showing the progress of the last few weeks, including a sneak preview of the paint color (quite bold and dark, but we figured the light cabinets would allow us to get away with it.

Jason's Forest Service training is based in Corvallis (staying in the dorms at Oregon State University, where Rhonda got her Pharm. D.). It's only ~90 miles from the house. (Actually, Rhonda just reminded me it's exactly 92 miles. She should know, since she drove it daily for 2 years!). He was able to spend last weekend with us, and will be with us this weekend as well. Here are a few pics we took last Sunday on the Triple Falls trail in the Columbia River Gorge.

Next updates should be about Jason's second weekend with us and (fingers crossed) a finished kitchen!
