Backhoe, Big Groups and More Shelves!

Has it really been since last week that I put something up here?  Must be because we are busy here!  We picked up lots of people at the airport on Saturday.  24 extra people in the house until Tuesday when one group went to Port for another day, then back to Jacksonville.  We still have a great group from Southern Georgia here until the weekend.  Man they talk funny!

We unloaded the second trailer and got the backhoe out.  It is a John Deere front end loader with a backhoe on it.  I got to play a little yesterday, leveling out some piles, moving dirt around, digging holes!  That is going to be a great tool if we can keep it together.

I spent the day today at Jan's orphanage with a few of the funny talkers from South Georgia.  We built some shelves and clothes hangers in one of the spare rooms.  Plenty of space to organize all of the kids clothes and school uniforms.

15 cubbies for kids clothes and and upper and lower closet rod.  Just something I threw together with plywood and 2 x 4's, but her reaction was like I moved mountains.  It felt real good!  That is what I am here for.  We all had a good lunch there and got to play with the dozen or so kids that were running around the house after school got out.  Many thanks to the Georgia group and Jan's son Jake for his help and his tools.

Great dinner with the group tonight...rice with chicken and vegetables on top.  Trying to figure out what tomorrow is going to bring...I am sure we will come up with something!
