Well we have the first week of "the build" behind us and we have found out we are ALL getting older and slowing down. We have been split up in 3 teams which is not a bad thing but it is hard to have to share tools on 3 different sites. We did get one house completely finished with the vinyl siding, another house all interior walls up and windows in and set one wall on another foundation. This next week will be building and setting more walls and starting siding on another house.
We have enjoyed meeting new people on this build as well as working with some of the "Old friends" that we have worked with before. The weather has been great, in the 70's and 80's so on the hotter days we stop working a little early. We all enjoy the social part later in the afternoon and talk about the accomplishments of the day. Of course there is always food involved. Friday night we did a hamburger cookout with the group.
Today Larry and I are going to the Pioneer Museum here in Dade City which also this weekend has a Quilt Show and other things going on, such as cane grinding and syrup cooking. Larry will enjoy that as his Daddy used to cook syrup. Our children always enjoyed Grandaddy cutting cane for them to chew.
Tonight we are going to watch the Super Bowl with friends from New York who are Giant fans. Since I do not like the Patroits I will be pulling for the Giants. It will be fun but not nearly as much fun as it would be if the Steelers were playing.
Last night Larry and I worked on our trip to Texas for after we leave here. Think we got it all worked out, now I just have to call campgrounds and get us a place to park.
Later
Mem
