#3
A time to worship, a time to learn, a time to eat, a time to relax, a time to walk, a time to visit, a time to play, and a time to sleep. All in a days work. Well, actually that and more. We are blessed to be given the gifts we have from God and to be able to use those gifts to bless others.
Our drive to B & J’s house is very beautiful so we made sure to take a few snapshots along the way on Monday morning. Did some painting, put up some tiles, and got some sore muscles along the way. To reward ourselves for a job well done we each got a treat on the way home. DQ knows how to make ice cream down here, and it’s tastes way better than at home.
Oh, the guys are still a win ahead when it comes to our nightly canasta games.
More styrofoam has arrived! Let the building begin. Thankfully J has some friends and they were able to come out and add many hands to make the task easier. Today, Thursday, the second floor walls have reached their final height. Now it begins to prep for the roof and to slope the sides to allow for proper drainage. It is so exciting to watch the house take shape.
Meanwhile inside the cocina/kitchen or rather in the pantry, work has begun to do some rearranging and moving things from here to there, which in itself is a bit daunting of a task. But this too will be completed and not without adding additional tasks along the way. Like repairing the floor, and painting the walls in the office closet. In a “normal” year with large teams of volunteers these jobs would be put on the back burner so it is a blessing that we have the time to do these now.
The last three weeks have gone by way too quickly and at this point in time I am not near ready to leave. It feels good to be useful and working together with others.
