First Work Day

Boy! We were exhausted, sweaty & dirty after our first day of work! We didn't think we'd be tearing down this year, but that's what we're doing again. At the end of the day it looked like a hurricane had come through that house again -- and it wasn't Hurricane Katrina this time! Last year we took out walls -- and we're doing that again this year (but with 12 ft high walls!) and we're even taking down the ceiling. Whew! What a mess we made! The "boys" reminded me of my preschool boys -- hooting and hollering as it all came down. And Andy Phillips gets the award for most dirty -- his face and arms were literally black by the middle of the day.

Now we're back to home base and we've all showered (I even went out and "played" in a little rain that fell!); and the members of Little Farm Church are here making us a dinner that includes chicken, red beans, rice & bread pudding. Oh boy!
