Lake Aurora Project Finished





Can the month of January be torn from the calendar? Yes, it is and, also, our time here at Lake Aurora Camp is now done. We finished the work yesterday. The rains slowed us down the last couple of days this week. However, (mostly the men) finished in pouring rains yesterday. The playground that they were working on is ready for children! As a bonus, they, also, installed 6 large concrete pads for the "tees" on the frisbee/disc golf course. The painting the women was going to do on a couple of bathroom floors was cancelled because they were wet. Instead, we cleaned and sorted items in the gift shop.

Normally, in our past work in camps, we have been able to observe the use of the facilities on which we are working. This was different because the RV parking is separated from all the activities. However, we did hear the singing around a campfire etc. a few times. Also, the RV park is full of volunteers both working at this location plus another group working with a church in Lake Wales to assist relocated Katrina victims.

The past week we have had a persistent visitor. A bright red cardinal wants to come inside the RV. He flies around hitting the windows and sitting just outside the windows. He had visited our neighbors for 2 weeks but must have given up on getting into theirs and was trying ours.

Come tomorrow, we will pull out and head north about 100 miles. It will be good to see new things, start new work for a camp and meet new people.
