OUT OF WORK

 On Monday mornings Elaine didn't start working at the store till after break, so she helped me install new tiles in the cafeteria bathroom.  I was sure glad for her help with that fan.
 Robert had no big projects left for us to do this week so we were doing little odd jobs. Bill and our Robert made sure the gutters were all clean, especially that the downspouts.
 Ogie cleaned off the leaves and twigs on the three buildings with large flat roofs.


 A porch post on the activity buuilding was rotted and needed to be replaced. Larry and Gene worked on replacing it..
 Robert and Gene cut the post to fix.
 The new post painted and bolted on.
 Monday night we watched  the total eclipse of the moon. It was a perfect night to watch it, and lucky for us we saw the total eclipse a little after midnight.
 Bill cleaned the roof and the gutters of the garage.
 One more office to paint. Ogie painted the walls
 and I did the trim.
 Larry rode his bike around each day so he could  help get us any needed supplies. Otherwise we all did a lot of walking.
 Gene and Robert put in some nice walkway tiles by this school room.
 On Wednesday we decided to fix the fascia board on the garage and the tool shed. Walter fixed the garage while Gene worked on the tool shed.


 It sure looks nicer with the boards repaired and the building painted. Our last paint job! There was no work left for us to do on Thursday.
 There was an artist living in the trailer behind ours. He had been commissioned to paint this picture. Wow, what talent.
 Gene and Elaine shared there talents with us. He made each of us a lovely embroidered tote and Elaine wove  beautiful book marks with NOMADS on them.
 There were beautiful rose bushes around the grounds so I picked a few roses for each  of us. I found the little solar dancing flower at the 99 cent store to cheer each of us as we travel down the road. May it  remind us of all the work we accomplished and the friendships we made here at David and Margaret's.
