Hi all.  It is hot here - in the 80&#39;s.  Not that bad, but when we were at the granite yard, we were outside and the sun was beating down.  I thought I had made my selection before we went out there - when the guy came to our house, he had about 20 samples and I had picked one from there.  He had said I might find one I liked better down there, but I was pretty content with what I had picked.  When we got there, we found one that both Greg and I loved.  Apparently so do a lot of other people.  Every slab they had was already on hold for someone else and they did not show that they would be getting any more in.  There really weren&#39;t any others that we both agreed on.  In the end, I let him make the final decision.  Do I love it?  At this point, no, but hopefully it will grow on me.  When we bought our new living room furniture last year, we didn&#39;t agree then either and my son said to me that I pick everything in the house and that I should let his dad have a say in at least one thing.  Now I love what he picked out and am so glad we went with hs choice, so hoping the coutertops will be the same.  He knows that particular granite was not my first choice, or even second or third, but I didn&#39;t tell him that I that I really am not fond of it at all.  Just pray it grows on me.  I am sure it will be fine once it is installed.  Including a pic of the granite.  I think it looks too uniform - the design is pretty much the same over the entire slab, which is what Greg was looking for.  I, on the other hand, like those who have a much more varied pattern.   I found the perfect bronze drawer pulls and cabinet handles online and just ordered those.  The granite guy says they will try to have everything fabricated and installed by the end of June, just in time for my company to start arriving.  Well, hope all you Crazy people have a wonderful weekend...<br />
