Oh Happy Day

Greetings,

Oh Happy Day.... the pretend kitchen has arrived! Normally, I would not sing praises for anything kitchen related....but since we have moved into our "new / old" building, and actually have a kids room for the NSA Souda Bay Children's Ministry... we have begun remodeling the once storage room for Emergency Managementt disaster supplies into our kids. They are going to love it....if we could ever finish it.....

Everything here is so expensive....so we ordered the furniture and various toys and supplies from US based companies. Items larger than the USPS specifications or if the items weighing over 70 pounds were shipped to the base in Norfolk…then placed on a ship and sent via the ocean express. I say ocean express, but express it is not. The average wait time is about 3 months.

The pretend kitchen has been a little project of mine since April. So I am extremely happy to have it in country and assembled….with all the pieces.

You see, we ordered a kids rectangle navy blue sides with speckled grey top table (with matching chairs). Oh…ordered around August….recently the table was delivered by the good ole ocean express….but without its legs. I am not kidding. No legs! Not 1 of the 4 legs were sent. We are back and forth with the company trying to find our tables legs.

Although, instead of the legs…we received the round version of table in addition to the rectangle table. So we have scored a $500 round table that the company has no clue how to return so they are going to let us keep it …I think? Maybe God knew we needed a round one as well. Slight problem….the round table was sent without its legs.

So we are waiting on…2 sets of table legs (1 round and 1 rectangle) and a rug. Once these arrive…not sure exactly when… and we finish the remodeling project I will post the pictures!

If anyone out there has seen our legs….please let me know!

Blessings to those with a good pair of sturdy legs,

Kristie
