Work Hard, Play Hard

This has been indeed been a work hard and play hard week.   With week 3 of this RVICS project we have worked ourselves into a routine.   At the end of the week, we are tired but it is good to stop and do other things for a few days. 

As far as the work hard, the men have come a long way on the shed and it now has walls, is under roof and are in the later stages of work.   Of course, as I have found over the years, some of the finish work on any project can take as long as the “big” work.   With just 3 ½ days left, they are hoping to get it totally finished in a short time.   The ladies are still cleaning,   With 3 buildings totally done from top to bottom, we are working on the chapel.   There are a few more windows to clean and chairs to “dust”.   One of the ladies has been working in the office doing some filing.   Even though that is taxing physically, the camp is just as pleased to have that done too.

RVICS has built into our schedule times to stop and interact with one another.   With the weather cooperating, we built a fire, cooked hot dogs and had a carry in for our evening meal one evening.   As a guest, Dale Boone, camp director, was able to come and gave a good devotional to end our evening on the topic of Be Still and Know that I Am God.

One of the things we personally like to do, is take a day on the weekends and see the sights in the area and just relax.  On Friday, the weather was, once again, perfect and we headed to Lake Michigan for the day.   Everywhere we looked was a picture to remember.   Since the trees are getting some fall color, we enjoyed the drive also.   On Saturday, we headed about 3 hours away to western Michigan to visit close friends.   What a great way to end the week!

As was mentioned briefly above, yes, our time here is coming to a close.   On Thursday, we will pull out and head for our home.   Along with our trip home, we will take many, many memories with us.
