Sunday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day you and I had a long chat. I can’t believe how tall you are getting and your new hair cut makes you look so much older. Your Mom’s cell phone battery started dying, so you went and plugged it in. After you did that, you told me you were going to do the washing. Then you ran outside & when your Mom said, “where’s Granny?” you replied, “I’ve put Granny on charge!” That was very funny!
Google reminded me today that 3 years ago our granite arrived. The island piece was about 150kg or more – some family members say it was 200kg, but I think that’s an exaggeration. It was not an easy task getting it up the mountain…
Up the stairs…
Almost in the front door…
And with much relief, being put in place.
We were so excited to have it cleaned up and ready for use.
And 3 years later, it hasn’t changed…
This was one of the risky purchases of the house. We bought it at the annual Womag Granite sale in November 2019. It sat at a place in Athlone from November 2019, through Covid to October 2020.
The company did a great job with the fabrication process. They cut it perfectly, making the most of grain pattern, so that it looked like a river running into the sink. Loved it. Twas a risk that paid off because in the end the total cost for original purchase of the slab, fabrication and installation was R17000. It covered the main island top, the kitchen counter and Julian’s kitchenette counter. I’m appreciating it tonight.
I am deeply disturbed by what is happening in the Middle East and am watching events with concern.
Isaiah 11:5
Righteousness will be His belt and faithfulness the sash around His waist.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
