Aaron, Aaron, Aaron...Feels Good to Say



Aaron Monroe, of Architectural Building Arts, gives a "thumbs up" to the renovations at 850 E. Gorham Street---Aaron's House.

Sometimes I say the name to hear and feel it...Air-Ren. Air-Bear. Air-Foil. A-Ron. AJ. A-Em. Air. I miss saying Aaron and hearing the proverbial "Wut?" or "Waauutttt!?!?"

For the last week, I've had the pleasure of saying Aaron to my heart's content because Melinda Monroe assigned her son Aaron to lead the first phase of renovations at "Aaron's House". Aaron Monroe took apart, tore down, sledge hammered, and dumped tons of debris, in the last week. I stopped by a few times to lend a hand and just be around this pleasant young man. The extra bonus was the opportunity to say "Hey, Aaron. or Aaron, what do you want me to do? or Aaron, look at this. Aaron, what are you going to do?"... etc..

Aaron has his initials on all of his tools. While the middle initial is not "J" the last initial is "M" so everywhere I looked I saw A-M. Even seeing AM means something to me.

The last week was fun. It was all things Aaron.

Grateful for the chance to say Aaron.
