Wednesday, Halloween

Hello Church Family,

Dana wants to take a walk this afternoon so she logged me in do make our report to you. We had a Bluegrass band come to visit last night. They were the Appalacian Countdown and they were good. They brought a flatfooting dancer to teach us the proper steps. I think we all danced. David said he had too much good supper in him and didn't want to be making a shake inside, so he might have sat it out. The rest of us "pushed our comfort zone" and attempted to dance. Ruth, our seminarian, was definitely the best flat-footer among us.

Today we got up to a wonderful scrambled egg and sausage breakfast made by Lyle and Carol. We watched the sun rise at 7:51am over the mountains, a beautiful sunrise.

We began work on the roof over the front door porch today. And we finished it today. Dale, our foreman, made a decorative rail around two sides of the porch. We also touched up the aquamarine paint and did all the white trim painting. And Tim, our home owner made a venison soup for lunch, Delicious.

Oh yeah. We had a couple of guests for dinner last night, Ruth and Frank from the Rocky Mount Church. We met them on Sunday and they brought us some firewood on Monday. We also had a friend of David and Harriet's, Fran, who helped make the supper.

Andy

PS - Thanks for the comments and keep them coming!

Hey Y'all! Great to find your blog. (Sry for the blogger name...Sarah had a blog first)

Menino's waiting to have the Rolling Rally 'til you return.

It's going to be cooool when you return so leave an extra layer near the top when you pack.

Keep up the good works!

Happy Halloween!! Did anyone bring a costume? I'm sure that there's candy down there.

Does anyone come trick-or-treating in your neighborhood?

The days have been beautiful up here, but the nights are seasonsably cool. It's a good night for the kids to be out.

You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Happy All Souls!

It's clear, but getting cold here. Hope the furnace continues working there. Carol, the kids had a terrific time and just went home. We'll think about you all on Friday am. Sounds as if you are all doing wonderful work there.
