Keeping Busy


Yes, we are keeping busy. However, while some jobs are now finished others are still a work in process. Don (mostly working alone) has now finished laying the bathroom tile. They were small and the hexagon shape was “interesting” to work with. The kitchen tile has, also, been laid. The grouting will be done in the coming week. Many of the men worked on in repairing doors and door jams on some of the cabins and other buildings. Some landscaping work was done. Most of the grounds equipment and a pump have been repaired. Those that haven’t been fixed are waiting on a part of some nature. The women painted and painted some more. One lady is helping out in the office.

Before every day of work, we begin with devotions. Every member of the group leads our time together at least once during the month. This is a special time for everyone as we gather to share, pray and sing together. Oh yes, there is a set seating arrangement for this time. We have to put our brains in gear early in the morning as to where we sit. The woman sits in the “passenger seat” (right side) beside her husband. That is because we hug the person (not our spouse) next to us and give a kiss to our spouse on the other side. It is always good for a laugh.

As I write this, we are actually at home in Hartford City. This is a first for us to come home in the middle of a project. It is good to get a little rest but we will be heading back to Canaan Acres on Sunday for 2 more weeks of work and fun.
