It is Saturday already. We have put in our normal 4-day workweek and have already finished a major painting project. Another day or two should finish the kitchen project.
Bob is laying down on the job!
Luckily our hosts have plenty of additional projects available to fill our time here for the next two weeks.
As mentioned in our previous posting, this church was used for the filming of the wedding scene near the end of “The Graduate” a 1967 release that helped make Dustin Hoffman the star that he is today. Congratulations to Carrie, who was the first to comment back to us with the right answer. This church has also been featured in a few other films but we don’t have those names.
A large commercial strawberry patch is located on the church’s property just south of us, and the crop is ready for picking and eating. They are large and sweet. We have already purchased and eaten many pints and expect to go through more.
The local community holds a weekly produce/street fair every Thursday, beginning this past week. There were craft and produce vendors as well as entertainment. As a group, we took advantage of it on our way out to dinner together at a local BBQ restaurant.
Yesterday, our whole group took a field trip to another nearby agency that often hosts NOMADS, David and Margaret Youth and Family Services. For details see http://www.dmhome.org/About-Us/Our-History.asp . There is a tremendous need for the work they do here, and there is little financial help from the state, county, and cities nearby so volunteer help is greatly appreciated.
Today is a rainy, dreary day. Highs in the mid 50’s only. Our friends and family in Minnesota
