Well, Gillwildflower asked how you build a house in two mornings...  and this is how it happened.  The slab was already poured when we arrived.   The guys worked longer than the two mornings that were scheduled, working some in the afternoon too, and they didn't actually finish the house, but were able to get it framed up and put a roof on top, which was what we were supposed to accomplish.

 This is what it looked like at 9:38 am on day one. 

This is at 10:20 am on day 2

This is at 4:54 pm on day 2 

You can see that they came back after lunch and finished up our portion of the project on day 2.  I am amazed what can be done when you have God working through you.  Phil 4:13 I  can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Oh my Cloye!!!

I bet you are freaking out, since you haven't gotten Barb's block from me.  I am so sorry.  We went out of town last weekend, then my husband's gramma died, so we have been furiously busy with everything but normal life.  I will be sending your package out soon.  I promise! 

Sachse High School Band awarded 2nd place in Carrollton marching contest!!

Saturday was hot and tiring, but it makes all of the work worthwhile, when you get validated with a trophy win.  We didn't place first, but 2nd was awesome!  We saw very little of the competition, but what we saw was impressive.  Our cross town rivals placed 6th, so placing higher than them was victory enough for most of the kids, getting 2nd was the icing on the cake!

Here are a couple of pictures of the performance.  I was on the sidelines helping out, so you can't see much from these pics, oh well!

This is Jeremiah, who I met Saturday.  I love his hair.  I wish I had those curls, so I could grow an afro!  Sweet!  He is an interesting kid to talk to.  I enjoyed hearing his take on life.  Hopefully I will have more opportunities to talk to him.
