And I believe we are seeing the proof of that now! <br /><br />I have no formal education but common sense told me to NOT stop spending money...well, I'll get off that bandwagon..I know you don't need to listen to me ramble on!! hahaha<br /><br />So we continue to do our part to stimulate the economy! Oh, and I'm only relocating the kitchen to another wall...I'm actually using my existing cabinets and appliances...so no major expense is taking place. YAY!! I've never been a lady that dreamed of a huge expensive kitchen. :0) Thomas and I are way more excited about the additional windows going in..the kitchen just had to be moved out of the way! hahaha<br /><br />Hugs to you,<br />StephanieStephanie Suzanne Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121430170088480348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-53133227913097361562009-07-22T16:00:12.172-05:002009-07-22T16:00:12.172-05:00Betsy: Truly a beautiful place with so much to off...Betsy: Truly a beautiful place with so much to offer.
