As Derek has requested here is a sample of the pictures that I have from Pass from the last two weeks. The first is of Larry after our "quiet" mennonite girls attacked him with silly string. The pranks just kept coming last week. The second picture is of Shirley and Frank when we went out for a buffet dinner Friday night with the Saskatchewan group. Below that is Les and the mennonite girls flying kites in the battle of Canada vs. Pennsylvania. To the left is Shelley and Eileen after their paint fight at the Roles home. Although it LOOKS like Eileen won, Shelley managed to put two hand prints on Eileens back so it's really a toss up.
The weekend went well. Saturday was relaxing as everyone did their own thing. Steve and Shelley went out for lunch and book shopping. Joyce and Alvie went to Walmart, and Jay and Rebecca took off as well (I'm not sure where to). For dinner Laura Dedeaux and a large portion of her children, grand children, and great grand children came to our camp and cooked us a fish fry. There were three types of trout, all of which were caught earlier in the day by Mr. Albert Dedeaux. I believe the men are all hoping to get some fishing in with Mr. Albert sometime this week. Miss Laura's house is the one on Courtnay Avenue that has recently been painted on the interior.
Sunday we went to the Episcipal church that Jay and Rebecca like. It was their Thanksgiving lunch after the service. Some stayed and some went to Long Beach for lunch. For the third Sunday in a row the long term volunteers recieved Communion. We must be in good standing now! Also, our new construction foreman, Henry, arrived Sunday afternoon. He is from Winnipeg, Manitoba and apparently worked for Dick for many years so we are glad to have him.
This week we have a small group again. Five people have come from Indiana to help us. There were supposed to be 10, however a tornado went through their area last week and some of the team members were unable to come because their business was damaged. Those that came anyway are greatly appreciated and they understand disaster so I think there will be some good conversations in the week to come. Unfortunately, since there is such a small group we are only able to get a two houses at a time so progress is somewhat slowed.
The flooring is in at Mr. Lander's house on Fleitus so hopefully we can have that one finished up this week and have it dedicated for Thanksgiving.
Thank you to all of the Lancaster PA volunteers for such a fun and high energy week.

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like you had a lot of fun with the group from Pennsylvania. I love reading your blog. Keep it up. Have a great week - and try to get more paint on the house than on your clothes.
