I plan to embark on a project involving the kitchen at some point in the near future as well, though not as significant as yours.<BR/><BR/>As far as the healthier eating -- I'm with ya, girl.

What an amazing coincidence. ...Hi Becky, I'm back. What an amazing coincidence. I used to live in State College until a little over two years ago. I lived just on the other side of Park Forest, off of Valley Vista Drive. <BR/><BR/>My husband worked at AccuWeather as a forecaster. He loved forcasting, but the weather is 24/7. The hours were awful. He worked holidays, weekends and 2 or 3 days a week he worked till midnight. When he did have off, it wasn't even 2 days in a row. If we wanted to go camping, he had to take vacation. Now he got a job working for the state in the DEP, Bureau of Air Quality. Now he works 8 to 4:30 and even has the little holidays off. Our quality of life is much better.<BR/><BR/>We both work downtown. I am with PricewaterhouseCoopers. I see your are in the financial industry, too.<BR/><BR/>When I lived in State College, we used to get to Belleville a couple of times a year. Now, I need to find another farmers' market. You'll have to fill me in on ones in or near Lancaster. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I love your music and have been listening to it for awhile.Karen at Nittany Inspirationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789043947926863264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696888066087897864.post-87737352296609711702009-02-13T13:25:00.000-05:002009-02-13T13:25:00.000-05:00Hi Becky, I just found your blog today.

It's nice to make new friends.

I have to keep on top of the clutter or it will take over my kitchen.

Tiny as it may be I have managed to prepare many meals there. How exciting to look forward to more space and a little make over. <BR/><BR/>I wish you much success in the whole bread baking thing. I have never been good at bread making and have thought I'd like to try a bread maker but never have. What method do you plan to use? I do hope you will share your successful recipes, maybe it will inspire me to try again.<BR/><BR/>Have a blessed day!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705378309728984562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696888066087897864.post-54312078377880291182009-02-13T08:27:00.000-05:002009-02-13T08:27:00.000-05:00Becky, good for you...you are on such a healthy pa...Becky, good for you...you are on such a healthy path for your family.<BR/><BR/>I am excited for you about your kitchen changes.
