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.

LOL...you need to email this to her to be sure she sees it!

It is a wonderous showering experience! I think we need to make a little sign dedicating either the bathroom as a whole or at least the shower to "Santa Elaina"! We love you Aunt Elaine!

Hilarious! My Mom would be honored. She died laughing when she saw this. Please take all the credit as the gracious "Santa Elaina" would prefer it that way. :)
