Day 3: Slow & Steady Wins the Race

We are finally making progress! Fred touched up the painting this morning while I went in to the office for a couple of hours. While I was at work, our brother-in-law came over to help. He has already put laminate in, so he was able to give Fred a tutorial and teach him the tricks of the trade. We are very thankful, since we really need to get this project completed by Saturday!

Mom and I worked with Jessie in her room. We will be moving all of her furniture out tomorrow. We used this as an opportunity to completely clean out her room. I had no idea how sentimental Jessie is. She wanted to keep practically everything. Either someone special gave it to her or she was somewhere special when she got it. Boy, was it a long day.

Jessie has a shelf that goes around the entire perimeter of her room. She has Holiday Barbies and porcelain dolls displayed on her shelf. Every Christmas, for her first eleven years, I gave Jessie a Holiday Barbie.

All of the Barbies and porcelain dolls came down. We are boxing everything up and putting it in the attic. I sure hope she has a daughter that likes Barbies and porcelain dolls (most of which are Disney Princesses).

We want to thank our flooring and cleaning crew: Uncle Glen, MaMaw and Grady. We appreciate and love you all.
