6, 47, 60

Day 6 and the roof decking is starting to go on. We're all happy Paula is back this year as she's like a monkey on the roof. Some of us are also just to supervise from the ground.

47 - that's the number of years Margaret & Del have been married. We helped them celebrate by having "heavy hors d'oeuvres" followed by cake and ice cream at the campground. (I made the cake which someone actually asked if I'd made it in the van. The inside of the van is a model of efficiency but there is a limit...)

60 - that's how old the bottle of Scotch was that Bea decided to open and share with the group. It was custom blended for "The Watsons" and was a perk Bea got for helping Francis close up her aunt's home. Very smooth and tasted of, well, Scotch... a special treat for those with a taste for Scotch.

One of the heavy (they say this is a 20 lb. build meaning you gain 20 lbs. while you're here but with food like this they may have to up that!) hors d'oeuvres was grilled jalepeno peppers stuffed with a mix of sausage & pepper jack cheese & wrapped with bacon. The nifty little tool on the left is what is used to clean the seeds & membranes out of the inside of the pepper. Fred uses something similar to a caulk gun to fill them. (Joe - this seemed to have your name written all over it.)
