Thought that I was sleeping in, at least it felt that way but it was not even 7:30 am yet. It rained a bit during the night and it was still drizling a bit in the morning, but by time I headed for breakfast it had stopped raining.
This morning our job was to make juice from oranges, which we did. I ended up just cutting them in half, Tory and Kim did all the juicing. Only one electric juicer was working so Kim had to juice a bunch manually. So to keep myself busy I did some laundry, swept and mopped the main room floors. Marilyn once again made a delicious lunch with pork chops and potatoes and pepper sauce. The weather was cooler and cloudy which made it perfect for working outside. The guys were busy welding benches for the children's program in Fatima and almost finished the 10 benches today. They are planning to finish up in the morning. Us girls worked on cleaning up the back yard and now the fruit tree garden is looking pretty sweet. It felt good to be able to get something accomplished.
The guys also has a bit of fun this afternoon making Mexican bombs. They consist of a pop bottle, Drano (which they did not have so they used mercuric acid instead) and tin foil. Kids do not try this at home! I will not give clear instructions here for that reason. The Drano works extremely fast, so you need to be careful. The guys had a bit of fun setting off a "bomb" later that evening when Art & Brenda had gone to their room. They all had a good laugh.
We played another game of Rook while waiting for the timing for their little "joke".
Tim went off to bed while I stayed and worked on my journaling and helping Agustin with his new iPhone. Tory was helping as well, actually she was doing most of the helping and I was just there for moral support.
Talked to Nick on a Vonage phone and found out he got the job at Canad Inn and will start when he gets back from his holiday. Hooray!
