Repeat of yesterday and the day before. Hot and dry! And that’s all we are going to say about that.
The day started with a good laugh. The grounds crew here at the fair grounds cut the grass Tuesday. Ever since then we have all be fighting tracking in to our rigs all the grass clippings. Everyone is always apologetic when they come in and they try to wipe their feet off really well on our multiple mats. It really doesn’t seem to work. Yesterday Rita really tracked in the grass clippings. She was so sorry about it but it didn’t matter how many times we told her everything was ok. This morning Rita came in with a dust pan and little broom. She was constantly sweeping up behind everyone. It was too funny.
Karen shared our devotion today and it was sort of a continuation of joy using the July 4 devotion from “Our Daily Bread.” We all again talked about the obvious joy of the congregation at Branch Street UMC. Thanks Karen of a good reminder to be thankful for our joy and peace in Christ.
We got a lot of tedious projects done today. The sitting room is now officially complete with the exception of painting a step. We need to use that doorway so we can’t take that step out of service and paint right now. All the crown is now up in the hall. Thanks to Rita and Morris! All the base is installed in the living room and most of the quarter round. The door trim is all caulked and painted in the living room. There is still a little quarter round to be installed. The cedar planks for the dining room are now all organized and in process of being trimmed down. It was a good day.
Today was last work day for Rita and Dave and Karen and Morris. SO tonight we went out for our traditional Thursday night dinner at Woody’s BBQ. Since tomorrow is Morris’s birthday we also had a little celebration after dinner, with cupcakes. Everyone enjoyed the food and we all ate too much. We will be sorry to say goodbyes tomorrow, but have so enjoyed working with the four of them. It was a joy to have the time to reconnect with Dave and Rita and get to know Daren and Morris for the first time. We will miss you guys so much next week. Safe travels and we hope to see you down the road soon.
