Legends Granite
It's time to show you what an amazingly elegant and surprisingly easy and inexpensive real granite countertops can be when you use Legends Granite.I'm getting ready to do my kitchen countertops, as you've heard on KVOR but, before they get started on my project next week I want you to see some of the beautiful work they've done for other homes.
This is the Daack's kitchen countertop before Legends Granite.
Tile and grout...where's your toothbrush Daack family?
It's pretty, but it could be so much more
This is the Daack's countertops after Legends Granite.
No need for a toothbrush now.
Look at the 'glow' of the granite! And check out the stunning beveled edge!
This is the Kaletta's house...they chose Legends Granite after hearing about them from a friend who had work done as well. They could have chosen anyone but the saw the work Legends Granite does but not only that...the workers are professional and the choice of granite is endless.
This is my favorite picture from the Kaletta's home because this island is actually one solid piece of granite. No seam...just one, perfect, solid slab of perfectly cut granite.
Solid.The next few days and weeks I'll be posting more pictures on additional pages for you to enjoy. If you'd like to schedule an onsite consultation call Legends Granite at 633-7788 or email them your dimensions to www.legendsgranite.com.
Thanks for reading...more to come!

The Air Force Academy has an honor code that seems so simple...yet almost impossible to live by. It goes like this; "We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does."
That kinda reminds me of something I read in a book one time called the Bible. There was a page dedicated to something called commandments.
Now I'm by no means perfect and I don't always abide by the three simple rules but I'm not running for a government office. I'm not being paid millions to be a grand slam slugger. I'm not the leader of a powerful church. It's still no excuse but I'm not held nearly as accountable as certain people are and the degree of such deception some people can sink to is more than I'm capable of.
But, obviously it's nothing to just blatently lie and take advantage of your position for some people. I think the situtation with Ex-Govorner Blagojevich is just simply disgusting and I'll tell you why I think so. He's seriously not seeing that he did anything wrong and I'm feeling that he's not seeing any error in his ways because that's typical for the government. What he did has always been done and continues to be done now so, how can he be wrong if everyone is doing it?
Same with the MLB. Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire and Alex Rodriguez should all be banned from baseball and not be given any chance of entry in the Hall of Fame. They didn't earn it. It's that basic. Enhancing their performance to be the best instead of being the best on your own volition isn't true sportsmanship. It's not what the game was based on. So many players have never shot up. Most players have true talent and a never ending passion for the sport that wouldn't have allowed them to compromise their position. Then there's the wussy's that can't do it on their own. They need that extra boost they just don't naturally have to be the overpaid, overrated hero we expect them to be.
And wow, don't get me started on the church and Ted Haggard. I was raised Roman Catholic and if nothing else I was taught that the fear of God should be enough to keep you in line more than anything else. But this guy gave the definition to my word 'Hypo-Christian'. Those are the people that go to church on Sunday's just to ask for forgiveness for doing all the crappy things they do all week only to leave the parking lot of the church, cut you off at the intersection then flip you off as they speed away doing 45 in a 25.
So seriously...what is the truth? Should we even be held accountable anymore? I mean really, you can still be a high paid government official or an even higher paid sports star or even better, you can be wealthy enough to buy your way into Heaven. There really aren't any consequences...but God's not fooled.

So...who's going to pay for 14 children? Certainly not the unemployed, single mom who just recently gave birth to an additional eight on top of the six that waited at home. Home being with the unemployed, single mom's parents which I'm thinking is the only blessing at this point for this most unusual family.
The question that most people have posed has been, how was this allowed to happen? Ethically, was it the right thing to do? In certain European countries, particularly Italy and Germany, the limit on the number of embryos allowed to be implanted at once is three...she may have been implanted with eight. Dr. R. Dale McClure, president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, said in a statement Friday that the organization has been working to reduce the number of high-order multiple births resulting from in vitro fertilization treatments. But, in this situation it's a little too late.
The nanny that cares for this woman's children states that she's the 'perfect mom', which is a very noble statement. But, regardless of how Supermom-ish you may be, 14 is almost unmanageable for a daycare center let alone a woman and her parents. She'll most likely sell her life to a reality television show. Why not? The shows pay well and it's going to be a monstrous monetary challenge for the mother. So there's the answer to the question. Watch for a new show coming soon...'14 Is Enough'? All I can say is, look out 'John and Kate plus 8'...you've got some real competition coming your way.
