Today, again thank you to my west coast brother, is Wright Brothers Day. Quite coincidentally, Mr. Wright from Wright Brothers came to our house today to start the process of renovating our kitchen. Not one of the original brothers of course. He came with his assistant who is not anybody's brother, but has some very good ideas for spiffing up a kitchen. Thirteen years ago this same company did an excellent remodel of the kitchen in the last house I owned. Wright Brothers Renovation and Design is the name of the company, and I am happy to recommend them. We will be meeting with them on January 3, to get their estimate, and, if that's acceptable, to pick the style of cabinets and flooring we want. Such fun. But, about those original Wright brothers - my maternal grandmother's maiden name was Wright, and I was always told that we were related to the Wright brothers and also Frank Lloyd Wright. I know that last is true because when I was in my teens, an attorney came to our door with a check for my mother from the estate of Frank Lloyd Wright. Evidently he died without a will, and his assets were being divided among all the living heirs that could be found. I believe my mother's share was $38. Woo Hoo! Isn't it great to be related to someone rich and famous? Perhaps I should ask today's Mr. Wright for a family discount?
