Re: kitchen & anemone

Thanks Gene, all in all I'm pleased with the kitchen.  I really hate the
countertop, but I priced having it replaced and that would be $1000, so I'll
live with it.  The house is 40 yrs old and I had done some changes
previously, stove & fridge, new linoleum, but it needed the cabinets done.
I had the extra cabinets put in the empty space because I was so very tired
of not being able to reach things, plus I was losing some storage by putting
in the dishwasher.
