Another week has begun! This week we have a large group from Ohio. This group is from Curt, Joyce and Alvie's home church. It is definately going to be a loud and fun week! The card games started sunday morning before church and almost everyone stuck around after dinner tonight to play games (or work on quilts).
This big of a group also means that we can have crews on every house PLUS a whole crew of gofers, and a personal driver for Alvie AND a crew of quilters. It also means that we should be able to easily meet our deadline of Thursday for the two house dedications (Flietas and Morton).
Both of those houses are getting very close to completion. Fleitas has been finished inside and we're just doing the last bits of finishing work on the exterior. Morton St. is a little bit behind that but tomorrow the final painting is being done on the stilts. Miss Laura's house on Courtnay Ave. is next in line for completion (hopefully by the time we shut down for Christmas). The floor tiles should be going in later this week. Travis' house on Henderson is still flying along. The siding people were visiting today. Work on the Role's home has been stopped temporarily. Last week we didnt have the people so this week we should be able to continue covering the stilts and hopefully finish that job. The Brown home on St. Pauls is getting it's concrete poured tomorrow now that the columns are ready to go. Dorothy's house is back in business as the duct man was there this weekend and the crew for this week has started on the porches and the bathrooms. Pictures are on their way for Dawna.
Finally our menu! Breakfast was a standard eggs, bacon, and toast affair. Apparently there was supposed to be oatmeal but in the rush of things it got forgotten. No one really noticed though because everything else was so good. Dinner this evening was pork, potatoes, peas, and coleslaw. For dessert one of our short termers baked apple, cherry, and key lime pies for everyone. It was all very delicious!
In a funny turn of events, we have found a matchmaker to beat Joyce! Cloyce has taken it upon himself to get one of the 4 eligible young men in his group hooked up with Shelley. Lots of people are getting in on the act but they are meeting a strong defense. So it will be a hard fought battle of wills but I'm sure that I will overcome them.

lol! Oh, the joys! I hope that means there is lots of joking and laughing, as people try to hook you up. Be stong! (but laugh lots).
I so wish I could come visit and see for myself what's all happening...
