Fog & Sunset

Tuesday, June 20, 2017

It was another early morning with Randy, Max and David leaving the RV park at 5:30 heading up the mountain to Rosalie. Debra, Anne and Cecelia followed at 7:00. We all drove in fog. It was clear in the valley but on top of the mountain it was quite foggy but pretty. Out on the slab today they finished framing the interior walls, placed most of the top plates and installed most of the window and door headers. Again today we had great food and too much of it. The cooking team that Anne, Debra and Cecelia are on prepared lunch today and as is customary for lunch there were sandwiches, chips, salads, fruits and various desserts. After lunch the fire stop placement was begun as well as the truing of the walls and bracing in preparation for truss placement tomorrow. When the work day ended at 6:00pm we had a wonderful meal of roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, green beans, salad, rolls, fruit and peach cobbler with homemade ice cream. It was delicious.

Channel 48 News came out to Rosalie just before lunch today and there was a nice story on our project on the evening news tonight even though to begin with they had our name incorrect. (Click here to view the segment.) Constructors is a wonderful group of Christians who are being the hands and feet of Christ. It’s also really neat to follow the churches and communities where we have worked in past summers and see what God is doing thru the churches we have helped.

After dinner we drove back down the mountain to the RV park by a different route that took us through Flat Rock, Free Hill, Hog Jowl Gap, Crow Town, Roaches Cove, Mud Creek and back to Hollywood. Interesting and pretty drive. Of course when you are as tired as we are this evening you tend to get a little silly and we had a great and almost continuous laugh as we drove home thanks to all the strange names. Our favorite was probably Roaches Cove – NOT! Back at the rig we were treated to an absolutely gorgeous sunset. One of the prettiest ever! God’s beautiful world – Thank you God!
