My father is constantly working on some small project around the house. I think that once he retired from the foundry he found out that doing nothing was pretty boring. So he started to look around the house and saw little things he wanted to change. For example he remodeled my mother’s kitchen. He used a travertine tile backsplash to really make the kitchen look amazing. It made me so jealous of her kitchen that I decided to remodel my kitchen too. My mother tells me I am just like her sister, whenever she gets anything new her sister just has to have it too. I told her it was Dad’s fault because he did such a great job on her new kitchen that it made me think my old kitchen needed some work done on it. It is like when you best friend gets plastic surgery, it makes you take a close look at yourself too.
