When we’re on project we all go to the hosting church the first Sunday, and then we’re free to go to any church the rest of the time. This morning most of us went to the Country Cowboy Church…you wear jeans and boots, and can leave your cowboy hat on until the service starts! It is very down to earth. It’s a small church building, capacity 240, and it was full, with a few people standing. And they were ENTHUSIASTIC…boot stomping to make a point, clapping for nearly everything, and lots (way too much) hugging! The band had a base fiddle,two banjos, a guitar and a tambourine. Of course a piano, but big deal on that, it was the rest that was exciting! And a terrific message. The art work was definitely religious (for lack of ... read more

There aren’t many birds up here, except for woodpeckers, and a few Mountain Bluebirds. This morning we saw a woodpecker on top of the jeep, and then he started pecking. I ran to the windshield (aka: picture window) and rapped, and he didn’t even look up. Bob said he hears rapping all day! So I opened the door, and off he flew!

Anyway, these are some of the groves we drove through on the ... read more

We are working with such a fun group. They’re very social, with something going on all the time, and always laughter. And we work well together! We get lunch every day that we work, and when I say lunch, it’s not lunch like anything Bob would recognize! Monday we had roast beef, oven roasted veggies and a potato/bacon combination. For lunch!!! (For dinner we had sandwiches!) Yesterday~~Chinese something on rice (the men were describing it…Nancy and I went into town for a luncheon at one of the churches. They were supposed to have a comedienne, but she got sick, so they had a NASCAR theme instead. Kind of a long bridge between those two programs!) Today we had butter noodles with beef tips. Of course the meals have desserts! And in case that’s not enough, the ... read more
