I say this because about the same time we received that email, I was sent pictures of my old house in Egypt.   Four years I “suffered” with a kitchen that was adequate, but by no means ideal.   During our time there, we had to replace the refrigerator and the stove, but not before months of making due with a leak in the fridge and an oven that blew out smoke.   Countless visitors came and commented on both, and yet, the changes came slowly.   As we were getting ready to move, word came ...
