I am happy to report that after 12 hours of labor today, Garry and I finished tiling the backsplash in the kitchen ... it is really satisfying to do these remodeling tasks ourselves, and even though we are exhausted, we really enjoyed seeing the fruit of our labors. It's a good thing...we're having the cast of 'Christmas in Cricket County' over tomorrow after the play [5:00 at Spring Valley Baptist Church] for a cast party...glad we could get the kitchen put back together in time!
The first two pictures show the backing used for hanging the tile.

| Center area over the sink now in place sans grout. |
 |
| The fun part...my job was to grout while Garry moved on to another section...I'm kinda messy, so we were prepared! |
 |
| With the grout in place, the tile settled nicely. |

| Voila! It's finished! |
Holy cow Mom!! That looks amazing... I had no idea it was going to wrap all the way from the refrigerator to the stove! Can't wait to see it :)
