Gatlinburg TN
Well, there’s not much use in complaining, so I've skipped a couple days. My mouth has been really sore. It hurts to chew on the temporary crown and I’m not supposed to chew hard on the side that was treated for gum disease. I’ve been avoiding sugar and eating lots of soft foods, like beans. It’s getting a little better each day. We haven’t been able to hike because I’m still getting a lot of throbbing when my heart rate picks up.
Today Kelly had a fantastic idea. The grill you see in this picture is on a sliding shelf that stows under a dinette seat. One dinette seat has storage under it, but this one does not – the entire space is taken up by the shelf and grill. We have not yet used the grill. The grill is not attached to the shelf and cannot be used safely if it were attached.
Kelly’s idea is to detach the sliding shelf and turn it around. If she puts a cupboard door on the side of the dinette, we could open the door and slide the shelf out. We could easily attach a box to the shelf and have a way to store canned goods and bottles of oil, vinegar, and such, under the dinette seat. Is that cool, or what? The woman really is the best!
In other news, we love our new dish drain. I realize this may not be a big deal to you, but little things add up quickly in our lives. There isn’t much counter space in our house, so every inch counts. We had been using cutting boards to create an angle on the dish drain or sliding it across the whole sink. This prevented pools of water on the counter, but made it tough to either use the counter around the dish drain or use the sink. The new dish drain stores on the counter in a collapsed setting, then expands to whatever length we need. It has legs under it to create enough height and angle to drain perfectly into the sink. We love it!
