Some accomplish more than others...

The photo on the right is the house before we started this morning & the one at the bottom is at the end of the day. It may not look like a lot was done today but all the walls are now built. We all expect to have the walls in place in the morning in spite of the protests we'll get from our squeaking, squealing joints.

The first couple of days on the job are the hardest, especially for those of us who haven't done this in a while. Forgotten body parts are called into action, some more willingly than others. You'll be proud to know that in spite of sore muscles and aching joints, we all still somehow manage to buck up and squeak and squeal our way to happy hour. Tracy, photo left, is from Ithaca NY and has a niece who lives about 5 miles from us in NY (it always amazes me how small this world is). Anyway, while the rest of us pamper our joints by just sitting & chatting with a drink & some of mother's snacks she made us (a BIG hit with group, Mother!), Tracy crochets a beanie every night to be given to a child receiving chemotherapy. Keep up the good work Tracy!
