We’ve been very busy working and playing, but, at last, we have photos! We’ve only had three days of building, but you’ll notice we’ve made great progress on Steve’s house - from a simple platform to four walls and a roof. Steve, the new home owner, is a very kind, hard-working gentleman. It is a joy to work together with him and the on-site crew. The on-site crew has an excellent sense of humor, and we’re learning some new terms. For example, if you’re in need of a break, they may suggest a ‘snore-off.’
Erica’s face has turned a nice shade of red (radiance from the NZ sun) while Paul’s shins and knees display a variety of red blotches (yes, he is that coordinated and is no longer allowed to wear shorts). It’s been a group effort to keep Jeff in line, but so far, so good (he’s been known to stop the van so he can take pictures of flowers and the south-end of north-going horses). The breakfast club - Joan, Bill, Sue, David, Roger, Beth to date - deliver a nutritious start to everyone’s day…Rachel and Kris arriving just in time to scrape the pans. Debi has been
seen doing cartwheels on the ocean beach (for a price, the group is willing to post a picture or two on the blog). Becky is a wee, little lassie, but can easily wield a shovel three times her size - honest! Kari shall remain nameless as she has received too many blog posts. Kathy, Kathy, Kathy. Yes, our dear Kathy. She is now down to wearing three patches a day to manage her motion sickness, as the hills and winding roads never end. And all Terry wants for Christmas is a digital watch, flip-flops, and a case of Sprite.

How exciting to see all of your hard work become a home! You should all feel quite proud of yourselves. I know all of us back here couldn't be more proud. Keep up the great work. The pictures are wonderful, thanks so much for sharing.
