Springtime!!

The sunshine is back and brought the nice, warm springtime weather with it. It seemed to lift everyone's spirits. Even with all the tiredness and stiff muscles, there are smiles on everyone's faces. We are all enjoying our time at Dothan Community Church.

After hitting the road running on Monday, none of us let up with our work the whole week. There was much accomplished. The men are doing numerous jobs with laying of tile (both stone and vinyl) on floors, installing a vent in the new kitchen area, installing some plumbing and water fountains and painting a couple of bathroon areas. The women cleaned a closet, cleaned and repaired the chairs in the sanctuary, sorted and filed historical documents, covered 3 panels with fabric and scanned slides into a computer. What a productive week!!

Also, this was a good week because we were able to pull the lawn chairs out and soak up the warmth of the sun. "Pop on the Patio" came back! This is a time after work when everyone sits outside together and just relaxes and talks. With all the cold and wet that we experienced the past couple of months, this hadn't happened but a couple of previous times. We miss those times of just doing nothing and talking when we can't have them.

The schedule is filling up for next week. Our list has gotten smaller but isn't done yet. We have fun things to look forward to for the weekend but are looking forward again to Monday.
