Cabinets, Kittens, and Volleyball

Once again, here is a compilation post of what we've been up to for the last couple of weeks.  Last weekend we installed new floor cabinets in the horse trailer.  We had to replace them due to water damage but, luckily, they were purchased at Lowe's so we were able to match the upper cabinets quite easily.  The left bottom cabinet had to have a few holes in the back to accommodate the electrical box and (future) plumbing.

 

We did a better job of lining these cabinets up (it's amazing what you can do when you actually read the directions!) and plan to re-hang the upper cabinets when we put the back splash up.

 

Now it is almost back to what we bought.  The fake drawer on the sink cabinet had a huge, ugly knot in it so we are going to see if we can get a replacement.  I would also like to add a hideaway drawer behind it.  Next up: backsplash and countertop.  Eventually we will also add another top cabinet on the right, above the fridge.  You can never have too much storage!

 

In other news, we continue to foster cats/kittens for a local rescue group.  I have also become one of the adoption coordinators and adopted out my first kitten a couple of weeks ago (it happened to be one of the kittens we fostered too, which made it even more special to meet her new family!).  Sometimes we get sick or special needs cats and this was the case with our newest foster.  Licorice came to us missing lots of fur, full of fleas and worms, and underweight for her age.

 

But after about two weeks with us, you can see that she has blossomed into a beautiful girl! Hopefully she'll find her forever home soon.

 

And lastly, we attended Dersty Holiday this weekend as our Labor Day weekend tradition.  We did not bring the miniature horses with us since one is not feeling well, but Matthew did participate in the usual volleyball game.  Although we didn't stay too long this year due to an afternoon thunderstorm we still had a good time and the weather was lovely.
