Today is Thursday, Mar 31, which is our last day working at
San Dimas UMC.
It is a historic church,
built in 1901, which was expanded in 1924 and suffered a fire in 1998.
They have a small, but very welcoming
congregation.
They fed us snacks and
lunch every day we were working here (4 days per week, and 3 weeks
duration).
Our team of 4 couples did
some landscaping, a lot of painting, some carpentry, and some stucco repairs at
3 locations: the church, today’s parsonage, and the original parsonage (which
is 1880’s vintage and too small for today’s usage).
We have had a great team, had a lot of fun, and
got a lot of work done too.
As we said
in our last posting, this our first back-to-back scheduling, so we are ready
for a break.
Last weekend Paula was in town and we got to see her at
Tomie’s apartment. All four of us took
the time to explore Marina del Ray, Venice Beach, and the neighborhood of
Venice.
We will be staying here for an extra day (Friday) to do
laundry and slowly repack, then move to an Escapee campground south of here
(for the weekend) before heading to Yuma AZ for a Freightliner rally next
week. After that we plan to take a
couple of days to head east toward Big Bend and hill country in TX, before
turning north again.
