Well folks, sorry about the lack of posting lately. Due to oddities in internet availability each night when I tried to get online I was without a signal.
The week ended well. A lot was accomplished and by the end of the week there was some scrambling for jobs for all of the people present. Les managed to get the shingles on Travis and Penny's house a day early, the painters finished painting every available surface, and Dorothy's house is moving right along.
Most of the volunteers left this afternoon, among them was Sylvia (who I hear is currently stuck in traffic in Alabama on I10). It was an extremely tearful parting, but we do wish her the very best. On Monday Steve will be leaving us to move to Winnipeg. We are sorry to see him go but do understand why.
Even as we are losing people more are coming. Yesterday a man named Rudy arrived from Waterloo, Ontario to join us for four weeks. We are very glad to have him with us.
The food has been excellent this week and our cooks have definately earned their break! Hopefully we will have a great week again next week.

Is there any way you could post pictures?
So good to hear the updates from Mississippi.
I heard there were some pretty witty girls from Pennsylvania (Les told us). I wish we could have stayed one more week and met this group and worked some more on the houses. If you get a chance, could you take a picture of Dorothy's house just so that we can see how it's going (or just give us a verbal update). This is my first day on your blog because we had the wrong address. It's so good to hear from you. When I read the posting about the spiders, I cringed. Remember the first night I said I had trouble sleeping because I was worried about roaches? This would have freaked me out - I may have moved in with Sylvia!!! I'll keep checking you blog. Say hi to everyone!
