Our Work Here is Done

Today, Friday, we are packing and loading to hit the road again.  Not too far this time, just back to Paula and Tom’s place to do our laundry, some shopping, and to address a plumbing issue.  Once these are done we will become tourists for awhile, until our next project begins in 3 weeks.  We have a few places to go and things to see, but no schedule as to when we get to them. 

Yesterday was a day off for us as we finished all the project work earlier than expected – a very efficient and energetic group!  We spent time in the afternoon sitting outside enjoying the great weather and the company of our fellow project workers. 

The guys were shelling pecans that were picked at a church member’s ranch.  Note that Bob is staying away from this process as he’s very allergic to these nuts! 

The women were knitting and visiting.  We all had a great interest in knitting and shared many patterns, ideas, and books. 

It was a great, productive project and now we’re looking forward to spending a bit of time with Paula, Tom, Phil, and Elsie to say our goodbyes in a few days and then hit the road to see a bit more of the country. 

By the way, Paige’s Mom had her hip replacement surgery about 10 days ago and is recovering nicely now in a rehabilitation facility in Duluth.  Paula will be taking some time out of her busy schedule to be with her when Mom returns home in another week or so.
