We had to remove a lot of old stuff before we could get our new rafters in. All in all a good day though. We work really well together and have quite a bit of fun too, which is a blessing. At break times we get into some real good discussions sometimes. The weather is staying very nice. Today is was 76 deg F and sunny. Yeah, I know you're all jealous I suppose but I feel is at least some compensation for the work we're doing. Annie did a lot of "mudding" again and she probably will be doing that for some time to come yet. Annie has become good friends with Carol Schuitema. She's also mudding, primarily in the various closets and joked that by the end of the day she could finally come out of the closet.
We had a couple of guests tonight for dinner. Cynthia, who is the sister of the owner of the house that Annie works in and Margaret who is a long time member of the church here. Margaret is 83 years old and is the only surviving person of the original founding members. She's a lovely spry lady and told us a bit about the church here and still teaches adult sunday school every Sunday. Cynthia also told us about her family and how hurricane Katrina affected them all. She had to move to Texas for 2 years to wait for her house to be reconstructed. She's glad that she's been back here again for the last 2 years. Her brother, the home owner is handicapped and she's dropping by the house almost every day to check on the progress for him. She's a warm outgoing black lady and so appreciative of the work that we're doing here. She had a number of family problems and Grace prayed over her on our behalf, which she really appreciated. All in all, we had a lovely time.
This it it for today again and I hope to add to this blog tomorrow.
