Our Work is Done

We finished our third week at Community United Methodist with some carpentry in the playground and another classroom primed and painted.  When we arrived we were presented with a long “wish list” of items to complete, and completed most of them.  The church is happy with the work we’ve done and are making plans to host Nomads again next year.  They had a “Thank You” lunch after church last Sunday and presented each of us with a basket full of goodies.  We continually hear members praising the work we did and we all agree that we get more out of our involvement in these projects that we give.

Thursday night we all went to dinner; all of the Nomads and many of the people we worked closely with.  Lots of laughter and fun.   After a last quiet night in the parking lot, we packed up our RVs and pulled out Friday morning, all of us headed in different directions.  We are taking the next three weeks off and heading south.

Jeff got all set to leave early Friday morning.

 After a short drive of less than 100 miles we are back at an RV park where we stopped 2 years ago.  We got parked and got our lawn chairs out and met some neighbors, then looked up some other residents across the park that we met when we were here 2 years ago.  They are also from Minnesota and have a motorcycle so we spent a couple of days riding with them.  When we got home, we both took naps.  It is good to be “off the clock” for a while and retired once again.

Today is a day for errands: laundry and groceries and watching ice skating on TV.  It’s rainy here but not too cool.  Good day for taking it easy.
