Another week has passed –can that be possible?? Our time here at Lake Swan Camp has flown by before we knew it. We are now down to the last few days here. Tuesday afternoon will be our last work day before we move to a new location.
The electrical work got under way in a big way this week. When it was found a ditch witch couldn’t do the trenches for the electrical lines, a back hoe was brought in. (In this case, bigger was better!) After all the digging, the RV parking lot looked like a huge mine field that had blown up. However, no RVs had to be moved and nothing was hit. RVICS hours were thrown out and the men worked long and HARD days. It was amazing to see all of these old men digging and the other hard work involved. The women (in the afternoons) served them coffee and cookies, moved dug up roots, did misc. help and were the cheering squad for our hubbies. They have alot done but it is unlikely that we will benefit from the final hook up. The ladies continued in their painting etc. The finished walls/rooms make it worth the while.
Yesterday (our tour day) the group traveled 50 miles to THE BEACH (Crescent Beach on the Atlantic). All of us were like teenagers. We had the absolutely most perfect day to do this. We packed lunch, chairs and flew a kite, played bocce ball, picked up sea shells and walked barefoot in the sand!! This week, we played just as hard as we had worked! The sun was out and the temperature was about 80---in February!!!! Oh, did I say, it was perfect?
One of the couples from North Carolina had to go home on Sunday. They found the problem to be related to his back rather than an old hip injury. It was hard to loose one of the group. We are now a group of 10 (5 couples).
Thank you for all your prayers. It was amazing that no one suffered any permanent damage etc. from all that was accomplished.
