**I have a good reason – we came back to a leaking water line in the house and water damage that required replacement of 3 floor surfaces, so we have been dealing with that whole mess. The insurance company is still in a pissing contest with charges from the restoration/water removal company THEY recommended, but we have received the claim checks needed to replace 2 of the 3 floors already and I am ¾ of the way installing the other floor. Italy inspired us to go with ceramic tile in the kitchen and foyer, and I am putting laminate down in the family room. But, talk about the ultimate vacation buzz kill…
