All in a Days Work










Dave and I Spent most of the day on Thursday painting the eaves of his Moms house. I managed to be covered in paint by the time we were done. Dave hardly had a drop on him. We have more work to do today but the hard part is behind us. (thank you Abby for your great photography:) We also went to Jasper to check on the house that Dave's grandmother lived in. She died on Sept. 7, 1999. We had been married 1 year. We got the call that she was very sick and we needed to come to see her. We went and were there with her until she died. It was a good time for Dave, his mom and his siblings to get to spend with her and with each other. They reminisced over times spent in that big old house. It was kinda scary at night in that house.....and that is not just my opinion, Dave and Carolyn thought so too. I was sick throughout the days we were there. Little did I know but I was pregnant with Abby. It was good to be able to take Abby Erin and Samuel to see where their great-grandmother, Ollie Rebbecca Tucker lived.

I hope y'all enjoyed your trip to Jasper. I bet the kids liked visiting there and hearing stories!
(I bet it just wasn't the same for Dave to be painting without a huge turkey supervising!!)
love y'all!!
