That's fine--before and after photos are so inspiring! maeve, I hope you join the faster computing world one of these days soon! Otherwise, maybe set up photo accounts to use when you're in town at the public library? I had a membership at one photo site that kept kicking me off because my system was too slow, and even though it is somewhat faster now, I haven't gone back. Photobucket is the one I use the most now.

I've been doing extra cooking the last couple of nights, putting two more pans of single-layers of eggplant Parmesan in the freezer. And the freezer is beginning to look pleasantly full. I need to reorganize shelves to be sure I don't have orphaned pork chops buried under the salsa or pot pies, etc.

Even though the dining room table is kind of messy with papers I haven't finished sorting, in general the kitchen and dining room are holding their own as far as having more usable counter space and tabletop room.
