Another kitchen post

I know you've all been in withdrawal without recent photos from my house projects. So I'm drawing together a few recent photos of the kitchen. Hopefully, the next pictures I show will be after the floor and countertop are in place.

Somebody's Birthday!

Today we have a birthday girl,
dark hair, and big brown eyes;

Wonder what she looked like,
And what was her birth size?

Couldn't be a Barnhart,
Light hair was in their genes; (the boys, anyway!)

And blue eyes seem to dominate,
Some with a hint of green.

Me thinks we need a baby picture,
To celebrate her birth;

To show us what she looked like,
When she made her appearance on Earth.

So please complete this post, dear ones,
For this I cannot do;

And a very Happy Birthday, Rachel,
From all of us to you!

1st Snow of the Season Award!




And the award goes to Ben, in Minneapolis, who captured these photos on his way to work this morning! Clicking on the second picture actually shows the big flakes of snow! Though I'm told by a little 4 yr. old girl in the U.P. that they have snow up there too, so maybe Uncle Ben will share his honor with the other brave souls in the far north.

FBI warning for readers of barnhartcentral.blogspot.com

***FBI Warning #45JC: 10/3/2009***

On or about October 3, 2009, the humans known as Benjamin James Barnhart and David Lee Barnhart (ages 32 and 25, respectively) were abducted from the residence of Mr. Benjamin Barnhart (3636 40th Avenue S, Mpls, MN) by alien life forms of unknown derivation. The purposes of this abduction are unknown at this time.

FBI sources close to the entity known as the leader of the alien life forms, have informed us that the humans known as Mr. Barnhart and Mr. Barnhart have been replaced with well-crafted, automatonic replicant life forms very closely approximating Messrs. Barnhart. Cameras placed within the residence have captured these photographs of the replicant life forms engaged in "authentic imitative behaviour intended to deceive."

We have reason to believe that the replicant life forms are attempting to mask their nonhuman status by passing as humans—particularly, humans engaged in familial event reĆ«nactments like the celebration of holidays or birthdays. To that end they've adopted the curious practice of engaging in a birthday celebration. As can be seen from the photos, the eyesight of newborn replicants is not fully developed and they must rely on supplemental light sources in order to discern food objects from utensil objects.

Little is known of the replicant's intentions, though it is safe to assume that their schemes are nefarious and their intentions malevolent. Until we can verify that the actual Messrs. Barnhart have been returned to the planet Earth, we recommend caution on the part of anyone who would interact with these alien life forms. Please exercise extreme prejudice when engaging in any conversations or financial transactions of less than $0.73.

One final note: the president has directed our agency to honor October 3rd as the birth date of Janell McCann, the sister of the recently abducted Messrs. Barnhart. Happy birthday, Ms. McCann. We're doing our best to return your brothers to you.
