Team member "fun facts" for Wednesday: 1. Which lady has been fishing with two of the men on this team? Give yourself bonus points if you can guess which men! 2. In February, this man saw an alligator swim within 10 feet of the boat he was in.
Today found us continuing our siding project at Viola's house. We're getting real good at this stuff!! We were relieved that there was no blood or injury during our work today! However, we were to quickly learn that injury doesn't have to accompany work. With no tools in motion, a gust of wind blew up some dust and trash sent an unknown foreign object under Laura's glasses in into her eye!!! After a trip to the emergency clinic and some wonderful numbing eye drops, it was discovered that she has a bad scratch on her eye. Hopefully she will be back in circulation tomorrow. So add that to your prayer list for today!!
Several folks were invited to join us for supper at PSBC this evening. We were thrilled to have the owner of the home where we're working, Viola, and her daughter and son-in-law, Pastor Paul and Carol, their son Jeremy and daughter Jean, Volunteer Coordinators Bruce and Erin LePoint all join us. Smiles were everywhere as food was shared and stories were told. The evening was complete with an old-fashioned sing-a-long. Our new friends wanted to stay as we shared some grand old hymns. Terri was at the piano and Jason was on bass. It was a worshipful experience.
Chuckle from today: The team wants it to be known that we arrived at the job site on time, and long before our construction leader. That just doesn't happen often!!
The ladies decided the best medicine for Laura was a rousing game of Catchphrase. We do have a lot of quiet women on our team, so there was concern as to whether they would like this game. It took about 10 seconds for the laughter to begin --- and it was non-stop til the very end! We laughed so hard, we cried, and that was soothing for Laura's eyes!
Fun Fact Answers: 1. Terri Shea is the fisher-woman! She has fished with Don Hutcheson and John Stark. 2. John Stark was the one to have a close encounter with an alligator.
