Yes, the calendar and, yes, the temps and weather are beginning to look and feel like fall is just around the corner. However, here at Michindoh, summer is not wanting to take a back seat just yet. Don & I walked this evening and found the water slide being heavily used by the guests. We, also, saw 6th graders in the lake water this week with the temps in the mid-50's!! When asked, about it being cold, they said the water was fine, but they didn't look too warm when they came out of the water. Am I getting old since I am thinking like this???
All of this is to say, these conference grounds are being used and enjoyed by the "campers" here. Michindoh is used every day of the week, weekends and in all seasons. For example, this week we had "senior citizens" and 6th grade students here all week at the same time. Sixth graders are here every week for the week for outdoor school. Other members of our team are very familiar with this but not us Hoosiers. Some way or another, the public schools send them here for the week and they receive school credit. It is fun to see their enthusiasm for everything new etc.
No job was finished this week but will continue into the coming week. We are now a team strong with 4 couples. Added hands help the work to go faster and easier. The men have made good progress on the house. The dry wall is now ready for painting. The outside is prepared and ready for siding. Don was one of the men who installed all new windows and is now working on the outside trim. It looks much better than when we arrived. The ladies paint outside (weather permitting) and inside when it is raining (which is about half the time). Our inside painting is on the siding that will eventually be installed on the house by the men. We are hoping to see the house finished.
It hasn't been all work and no play this week. The ladies managed a trip to Shipshewana---great day!! Of course, we found some things we couldn't live without. For tour, we had the opportunity to have a complete tour of a steel mill, covered bridge and ended up at the beautiful country home of one of our team members. Another great day.
This coming week will be no different---work and play.
