A happy surprise

My husband surprised me this morning with a true labor of love, we took the carpet out of the kitchen today.  It was thrilling!!  No, really, it was.  I was SO excited to see that carpet go!!  Then a bonus...as we pulled it up it appeared that there under the carpet, glue and a layer of nasty 1950's linoleum was a big fat surprise...what we believe could be the original hardwood!!  Don't know for sure but I am very happy at the possibility.  Our house was built in 1914 so this would be incredible.  Even if its not, I am one happy Momma.  No more yucky carpet in THIS kitchen!!  YAHOO!!! oh, and a little side note, we were abe to move the island as a result of removing the carpet so now I can walk around my dishwasher when its opened.  Its the little things...
