Saw my dad last night.....

So I was at a wedding last night, Congrats to Chrissy and Jack McGuire, and there was a man there that looked like my dad. I am not kidding you, he was my dad! It freaked me out for a few seconds, text my sister to ask her if it would be weird if I asked this random man for a hug. She responded no, as long as you are not drunk and make a fool of yourself.

So, after a few hours of staring at him, I bumped into him at the bar and he approached me first to ask me if he knew me. So much like my dad he was trying to pick me up until I told him, NO he does not know know me, but I know him... I told him the story of my dad and showed him a picture of dad. He was a bit freaked out. So much that he had us show the picture to his WHOLE family! He was a nice guy and asked me a lot about dad. He was so much like him it was scary. And the only thing I could say about it was... IT WAS A GOD THING!

Love you and miss you DAD! See pics below!

Dear Sainta Elaina,

AFTER

Today's post is for you Aunt Elaine. For everything that was done at the Cottage this weekend was in your honor! Reed, Jeff and Harland replaced the shower at the cottage this weekend. The shower at the cottage was first put in over 30 years ago and grandpa tells the story over and over again that his daughter, Elaine, was the one who helped carry the concrete slab (which was VERY heavy) up the step to the cottage. He never mentions anyone else who helped in that large job. So we always refer to her as Santa Elaina. Well, I am so sorry Aunt Elaine, you have been over thrown from your petestal. We all thought that you should have been here to remove the concrete slab... we know you could have done it ALONE! But we know you were not able to make it (nor wanted too!). So in your honor we have a beautiful new shower. It is a little larger than the last and SOOOOOO much better than the last! Dont worry Elaine, we are confident that the shower floor which had to be removed in pieces will be there for your viewing pleasure next time you venture to the cottage. But this time it is in the bottom of the river!

BEFORE:

Thank you Mom and Dad for suppling this for us. And thank you Jeff, Harland, and Dad who put it all in.
