For Jo:
Bob the Builder
The Incredible Caulk
Captain Morgan
Miter Man
The Cookie Monster
Bobcat Betsy
Corporal Countertop
(Couldn't have two captains on one ship)

Nothing beats a Royal Flush (portable bathrooms are delicious)
I was on grounds duty today and it was awesome, in a very redneck/engineer way. I worked an elephantine pneumatic nail gun, a four wheeler, a fork-lift, a lull (a giant fork-lift) and a bobcat. All of the machines in this picture except the one with the shovel on the right hand side.



Bob was with the ladies from Boston being the punchlist guy. Dave was also with the ladies installing doorknobs. Beth, James, Ray, and Bernie returned to their house and hung cabinets. Beth used a jigsaw(!!) and installed a lazy Susan. Ray and James hung the kitchen cabinets... it was a very calm mob... Bernie framed and cut for pocket doors.


The girls in the middle are Meg, the Americorps leader, and Jayme, being very silly.




This is the sign to the camp.


Last night we walked the bridge to Bay St. Louis, about 2.2 miles and had some fun caravaning the vans back and forth.

Hey - I'm multitasking. I really am enjoying reading the blog and looking at all of the pictures. I wish I could have joined this mission trip. I'm humbled to be a part by extension through you all. God bless you and keep you all safe. Peace my friends.

P.S. to Elizabeth; I speak Spanish not Portugese so you made me laugh.

Elizabeth...you have achieved one of MY goals...operating heavy equipment...I want to hear all about it when you are home. The pilgrims are on their way from Seattle. Praying for safe travel for them today and then for you all tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing the stories and seeing you on Sunday. God Bless!
