So I think we should treasure those we do have.<br /><br />Sue - I've given up on seeing any ripe cherry tomatoes (even!) also. Fall has definitely arrived here, too.<br /><br />Woke with 5 a.m. alarm this morning to get my husband off and was going to stay up but he encouraged me to sleep in.

A real estate friend said that it added 2,000.00 to the value of the house - and we sure didn't spend that much - our son-in-law did them. I say a dozen times a day how much I love them. You lose a little space by having the slide out shelves but it is worth being able to find everything without all that bending and searching.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-27650014927374857242011-09-05T22:18:24.114-05:002011-09-05T22:18:24.114-05:00The kitchen is looking SO beautiful!

They are in my island by the stove and I use them for my pots and pans that aren't on the hanging rack. They even hold up to all the cast iron pans weighing them down. <br />Hang in there- it seems like you're entering the home stretch!<br />JudyJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.com
