Fall arrived this week. No, not by the calendar but with the weather! Brrrr!! It was definitely cooler and very windy and rainy. Plus, a couple of morning there was "frost on the pumpkin"! Isn't it too early for all of this? I guess after the very hot temps of the summer our blood has gotten too thin??? The trees are going through their physical changes also. When the trees in the area where we are parked are hit by the evening sun, they are a beautiful gold.
The "high" work on the dining hall was completed this week. The new coat of stain/paint on the pipes for the sprinkler system and the beams around them now brand new. They moved on to replacing and painting a door on a pump house and repairing a floor under a cabin. Ugh!! The reason for this is to keep the mice out!! Yes, I think it is the time of year they are moving inside.
The ladies, also, brought out their paint attire this week and began work on sleeping rooms in one of the buildings. The had a very unique look when we began. Bright colors for every room from every color in the rainbow! They were a challenge to the eyes! The work has begun to make them a nice neutral brown. The last day of work, the rooms were occupied and we, once again, found ourselves counting. Counting bandannas and folding them---1368 in all but that job will be left undone for awhile. Next week, we pick the paint brushes back up again and try to get more rooms done.
This is definitely a group of practical jokers. (Can't tell because it will probably be done again.) The Snows have been the brunt of the worst one. Oh well, we have made up for it a little bit! There is good to balance work and play and worship. On our team tour this week, a stop was made where the Old Rugged Cross was written 100 years ago. Yes, we did sing the song before leaving.
Next week is week #3 and we are looking forward to it!

Were you in Michigan? We were talking about that in our church this morning and was told it was written close to where I live.
