I greatly admire you both, ie, your love for Jerry and the extaordinary journey you embarked on with him. Congrats for NO Mortgage-pretty rare these days. As far as the cabinet doors, what about "antiqueing-sp., them? A fresh coat of paint,then a glaze you paint on, then wipe some off. I am seriously considering doing that to my kitchen cabinets. I have a Victorian style home (built in 1989) here in colorado springs that we purchased oct 2006. our pet name for the place-"OUR money pit"-lol I thought it was a "bargain"-ha! Price was not bad but almost everything has been changed or needs to be changed. Former owners only cared about planting weird plants.......................that DEER just Love! Plus, we have 2 ponds connected by a waterfall-I love it but oh, the maintence and.........................the DEER LOVE IT TOO! Anyways, I am so happy for you three and please give Mr. Wyatt a big hug from me (April). Welcome to Colorado, heaven on earth, I say. Cheers! :) Hey Rene,
