Beautiful Reminder

I am thankful to have such a wonderful, and very handy, family. My Uncle Jim spent the day putting wood flooring in my kitchen and it looks amazing! The end result is even better than the vision I had. I couldn't be happier with the job...unless they had painted my bedroom for me, too.

The day went smoothly-Uncle Jim and Gary got right to work while I put Evelyn down for a nap.


She slept through a nail gun, electric saw and laughter, waking just before the revealing and contently playing through the loud sounds of tools. She was a little curious, however.

But, every job needs a supervisor Uncle Jim says.


I couldn't help but tear up watching my Uncle work so cooly. From his glasses to his meticulous work, every second I watched reminded me of my Grandpa Eli who would have been so proud. He never left a job unfinished and obviously taught those morals to my Uncle who proceeded to shop vac the kitchen, living room carpet and breezeway before returning all of my furniture and appliances to their proper positions. I am so grateful for his love and hard work. I dearly miss my Grandpa Eli but it's the greatest feeling to know I have a reminder of the most generous, admirable man I've ever known. Thank you so much, Uncle Jim. Job well done!



Oh and sorry! But I have one more little thing I want to do in the kitchen before revealing the pictures. Sorry!! :)
