Little Women

I just finished reading "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott. It took me a while to finish it, which is weird because that usually only happens when I don't like the book, but I did enjoy "Little Women."
All throughout Part One, and some of Part Two, I was certain Laurie and Jo were going to end up together, so I was somewhat disappointed when Jo refused his proposal. I was happy they each ended up happy with someone else, even if it is Jo's youngest sister Amy, and an older Professor. I guess you can't help who you love. You're not supposed to. If I were Amy, however, I would have been worried that Laurie's feelings for Jo would eventually return, or Jo would regret refusing him. But I am fairly certain Jo wouldn't that to her sister, even though she ruined her manuscript years before. And as Laurie explains, Amy and Jo switched places in his heart and loves Jo only as a sister.
I wish I could go on a trip and find the love of my life!! Jo met hers in New York and Laurie and Amy realized their feelings for each other in Europe. I only wish Beth would have lived to find happiness in an others arms.
I would definitely recommend this book to my daughters, when I have them. There are valuable lessons taught in this book, such as there are more important things than money, and family can always be counted on in tough situations.



ps: The kitchen should be done next Tuesday!! Final pictures to come soon!!

Day 27

Although it has been a slow week with the kitchen remodel, we now have a new kitchen door!! After weeks of walking around the back of the house, Dad finally has easy access to the grill!!

I also forgot to mention that the case of the missing dog bones has been solved. During demo, the workers found them..... on top of the dish washer. Weird!!
