The kitchen faucet that's been in our home is just a normal, plain faucet. And it's been fine. We had put this little sprayer nozzle on it that we've taken from home to home with us that we got a long time ago. Lately, it's been falling off a lot and it's hard to snap back in. Last week, I even pinched my hand really bad when snapping it back in. Yesterday, Michael announced to me "We are going shopping." I was surprised, as I rarely hear these words out of my husband's mouth. He's not fond of shopping, especially on Saturdays when everyone else seems to be shopping. I said "What are we shopping for?" and he said "We are going to get you a new kitchen faucet." :) My sweet honey. This is one of the many ways he shows love for me. We went out and came home with a beautiful new faucet. Today, Allen, Michael and myself all worked as a team to get the new faucet on. The hard part, was getting the old faucet off! Part way through we realized we needed a specific faucet wrench (who would have known!) so another quick trip to the hardware store in the middle of installation - wrench in hand - did the trick - and voila! My new faucet. Thanks honey - I LOVE it! And Michael even said "Hopefully you'll never pinch your hand on this faucet." I love that it's got a high arch to it so we can now easily get pots and such under the spout! (It seems cute and funny to me that the older I get, things like new windows or a new faucet just make my day!) :)

What a sweet thing for M to do. Very lovely. Enjoy!
Fun, fun! We replaced a faucet recently also - and were shocked to know you need a certain wrench! Oh what we learn.
Oh, I love it! Very pretty.
The new faucet looks great! It really is the little niceties that can sometimes make our day. And the new windows look great, too!
Looks great!!! I hope Chuck and I can install ours. :)
Very nice. I agree, in our "old" age the things that make our lives easier/warmer etc. often do give us more pleasure than clothes, jewelery. I've got new kitchen gadgets on my birthday wish list. (measuring spoons, cups etc.) I'm sure Dan will just be aghast! He has come up with a "rule" to never give me anything with a cord (vacuum, toaster etc.) what a guy. Glad youre enjoying your faucet! Way to go Michael!
