A Very Good Month





This has been a very good month here, both for the work we are accomplishing and the good January weather in Florida. There hasn't been much change in our work assignments but we are seeing progress everyday. The weather has been (for the most part) very nice and making the outside work much more pleasant. (We can't complain or all of our neighbors in the rest of the US wouldn't really care after the terrible snow and cold they've had.)

Don and a couple of other men started working on some steps (replacing) to a house. All went well until the forms for repairing some prior work gave way. All wasn't lost and after much work, it was all salvaged. Today, they are making and pouring the cement into the actual steps. I checked a little bit ago and all was going well this time. Other men continue to build and install shelves in the donation center.

Most of the women have been sorting clothing and other things in the donation center. That will probably be the assignment for some time to come. Another lady and myself continue to work some in the pantry. Since the painting is now done, it doesn't take as long there. Today was a first for me---I planted flowers in January!! The pansies are really pretty and it is good to see some color again.

Can there be just a little over a week left on this project?! It doesn't seem possible but that is true. When you are having fun, time flies!
