Weekends are for Recuperating

The physical labor continued last week. The storage building is almost neat, with lumber racks built and wood sorted (somewhat). We are holding onto the dumpster (the second one) for awhile in case we need to dispose of more stuff. One trailer load of metal items weighing over 2500 lb has been taken to the recycler, plus more trailer loads for Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity.

 

Meanwhile, the ladies have finished getting the History House ready for inspection and moved to the library of the on-site school.  All of the books had been removed recently while some work was being done.  They moved all the books back where they belong, and put them in the right order too.

 As the weather has slowly improved (lows in the 30’s, highs in the 50s) we may be doing the outdoor work that was originally scheduled.  A pile of new lumber has been delivered for us to create a fence.   

Since we work a 4-day week, we took a little field trip on Friday to try a BBQ joint in a nearby town.  They serve “Carolina Style” with a number of different sauces to choose from.  It was very yummy!  On the return trip, we stopped at a state park honoring the birthplace of Davy Crockett.   

Saturday was a free day – laundry and some errands.  After sitting outside and visiting with everyone in the afternoon, we met at the History House for cards and snacks in the evening.  We had a great time with a card game that one of our members created.
