We are now past the middle of the week. So far it has been a much quieter week than last week, but no less fun. For devotionals tonight we decided to go out... to the drag races! Most of the volunteers climbed into the silver van (driven by Shelley) and headed out to Gulfport to see Mr. Roles at the races. After an amusing van ride where the Canadians tried to explain what the Grey Cup was and the different rules of the CFL (our version of the superbowl and NFL for the american readers), we arrived at the races. Then we sat in the van staring at the big CLOSED sign on the gate. It turns out that there was too much rain today and the races had been cancelled for the night. So we pulled a u-turn and headed back to camp for a coke run. Maybe we'll do devotionals tomorrow instead.
In terms of work progress, the brown residence now has it's columns completed. The cement people are coming on Tuesday. While they're here they will be pouring at Fleitus as well since the lift is now in. The plan is to have the house dedications for both Fleitus and Morton a week from tomorrow so we have a lot of work to do yet but hopefully we can get it done with some concentrated effort. The house on Courtnay Ave. is coming along quickly as well. The kitchen cabinets are all in, and one of the bathrooms has all of it's vanities. There were some set backs, including a broken mirror and the wrong type of vanity, that prevented the second bathroom from being similarly completed. The doors and frames are just about all painted with their first coats. A second coat will definately be necessary.
Finally (the part you are all really reading this for)... Frank and Shirley made a beautiful dinner of stew, salad, and rolls today. For dessert we had pudding and left over ice cream cake. We are truly blessed!
