The Fall Phenomenon

The past 2 weeks have been packed with Airborne and pumpkin spice lattes. Both are tell tale signs that autumn has arrived. Jonathan introduced our household to the swine flu which came and went pretty uneventfully compared to the hype in the news. I went to Ga. again to play at CC McDonough and say hello to my little brother who was in town on a business trip. I came back in time to pack our bags and move to a hotel so the hazmat team could tear our kitchen apart. After a week in a hotel doing school in the lobby and P.E at the pool, we are back at home with an almost completed kitchen remodel, piles of construction dust, and mountains of dirty laundry. Tomorrow Manny is heading to Ga. for 10 days with Little Manny to speak in Gwinnett county schools. Jonathan and I will stay here to tackle the dusting and laundry. In the Collazo household we measure how busy we are by loads dirty of laundry. I'm on the 3rd load and maybe halfway done...

The Good, The Bad, and the Moldy

The Bad: We have to move out of our house for a week because the owner has to tear up the kitchen to repair a leak.

The Moldy: Our kitchen because of a slow leak which has permeated the wall under the sink and the sub flooring.

The Good: We get to stay in a nice hotel and pretend we're on vacation AND we get a new kitchen before Thanksgiving at no expense to us!
