Sunday May 21

2 new groups came into the village this afternoon which is always an exciting time. One group was from Ohio and the other one from Michigan. I give them a tour of showers, dining area, their huts, and then let them unload their stuff to get settled. They will be doing a roofing job so are starting at 6 am. They got all the tools loaded tonite, mostly on my truck so we'll be ready to go right after breakfast. Several will work on the inside of the house tearing down the ceilings in some rooms. The roofers will take a break during the hot part of the day and work on something else or on the inside. One must always be flexible.

It's a good thing I like to shop. However, my trips are always to Lowes, at least every other day so am becoming very familiar with all that stuff. I'm learning about number 8 or 16 or 6 nails, coated or bright finish, coils for the pneumatic nailers, single gang box with 3 hubs, different grades and thicknesses of plywood, if we can get what we want. There are times when they are out of certain products. The volume of stuff that goes out of there is incredible. Then I shop once in a while at Wal-mart for food.

It was hot today but evening is okay. It is to be hotter the rest of the week and no rain but we'll manage. Blessings to you.
