A fine Irish day, Texas style...

It's true. Our first "day on the job" was actually misty/rainy. Not wet enough to cancel outside activities but enough to make folks think they'd showered with their clothes on. However, since Texas is still in a drought, no one was about to complain. And, in spite of the damp, all four outside walls of the house are now built and up. Julia, the woman in the center and bottom left photos is who the is the soon to be new homeowner. The taller boy is her son that lives with her and the little tyke is her grandson. She was able to arrange her time as Head Start Director and get her son from school so they could be there when the first wall went up. Exciting for everyone. Plus it stopped raining while they were there.

And, lest I forget to say, a crew of us (some say less hearty, some say saner) stayed in the warehouse and constructed all the inside walls except for the one that has to be built on site. Now, back at the campground, some of us (some say the hearty souls, some say the insane) are gathered in the open air pavilion "enjoying" happy hour. Because I'm writing this blog you should be able to figure out where I stand/sit today.
