Farewell to friends


Our second work crew bid farewell to Greg and Phyllis. Thanks for taking care of us this week--we enjoyed the water and donuts! We'll miss you and can't wait to see pictures of your house when it is completed...

Thanks, Jane!


We give thanks for Jane, our site coordinator, Lannie, our housing coordinator, and Darren, our construction coordinator. Here is Jane with some of our crew...

New friends--Bob and Dianna




Friday morning was our last work day, and we had to bid farewell to our new friends. Thanks for the hospitality!

Shenanigans by the river







Thursday after work we took a trip to see the White River, which flooded and caused much of the damage in Morgan County, Indiana. It looks peaceful that afternoon, although the current was strong.

Anyone for a game?




Jim enjoys a game of "Whack a VIMer"! Those pesky varmints can sure move fast!

Charlie's Angels


We were saddened to hear of the death of Farrah Fawcett, one of the original Angels. In her honor, we had our own Angels...

No Pain, No Gain...


We were blessed not to have any serious injuries this week. This is our line-up of smashed fingers, scraped/cut legs, and raw knees from kneeling...all for a good cause!
