The BIG D!

Today was dedication day when the "ceremony" was held to turn the new home over to Audrey & Kristen. Kristen is in black in the center (a track star at the high school) and Audrey is just behind her to the left.  This is the very first home of their own.  In fact it's  the first time they will each have a bedroom of their own (and a bathroom each!).  They are surrounded by many of the volunteers who helped build their new home.  The volunteers who worked on the previous part of the build are there in spirit.

And this is a hodgepodge of photos from the day. Audrey receiving the keys to their new home.  My sister, Becky, with Audrey & Krista holding the quilt she made them.  The quilt has leaves appliqued on it with the signatures and hometowns of all the volunteers who worked on the house. Center is my mother & sister and a couple of quilting friends who came to the dedication. The other photos are shots in and around the home.  Please note the front and side lawns in the lower left.  They've been freshly seeded (in what Texans call dirt). The group just finished this afternoon.  It rained, briefly, overnight and the "dirt" was like hardpan again this morning so had to be "reloosened" before it could be seeded. How anything grows down here is beyond me!
