First day of March

Our morning started bright & early with the alarm clock chirping at 5am. I did not want to get up but did need to be in the camp kitchen by 6.

We arrived and worked on breakfast being ready by 7. We ended up eating around 7.15. The men were finished and on the job by 7.45. Breakfast was biscuits, sausage gravy, jelly (for those who might not like biscuits & gravy), grapes, orange juice, coffee & there were cereals - Cheerios & a Bite Size Shredded Wheat variety. The men were excited we were serving biscuits & gravy for their first meal.

Much work was done between breakfast & lunch. At noon we served spaghetti, garlic toast, green beans, salad, lemonade, sweet/unsweet tea & water. The men were able to eat a little more for lunch than they had been for breakfast. We had purchased some Little Debbie snack cakes for the men to have if they needed a morning or afternoon pick me up. They were set out for dessert.

We cleaned up from lunch & I was able to go back to the office. Supper was served at 5 - hamburgers - grilled outside - with all the trimmings, potato chips, lemonade, tea, water & I had set out a few soft drinks in case those were wanted.

As far as the progress of the new bathroom, they have the walls framed, pipes laid out & wires run. During each meal they laughed about finishing early enough they could go to Myrtle Beach before having to go home. Tomorrow there'll be even more finished.

We decided today that breakfast would be served at 7.30. That gives me 30 minutes longer to sleep! Tomorrow is pancakes & John's famous turkey. Bible study will be in the evening. We're studying Jeremiah...the Precept study. My heart is heavy for our country as I read through this book. The idolatry that was prevalent in the days of Jeremiah. And how faithful Jeremiah was to proclaim the message which the Lord spoke to him.

Hope you have enjoyed a look into our day today...mostly the meals. Hopefully tomorrow I will have some pictures to post.

And So It Begins



Every year a church in PA sends a group to do some work projects. They are coming two times this spring. The first group - consisting of 3 men - arrived today and will start work early Monday morning. Their project for this week is to put a bathroom in the office area above the dining room. We always provide the food for them to eat. Friday we staff sat down & created the menu. I typed it up & will hang it up on one of the cabinet doors in the kitchen.

They like to eat breakfast at 7 a.m. so we will have to be in the kitchen by 6 to start preparing that. Come by to eat one or two of the meals with us. Just call to let us know you will be there & we'll have a spot reserved for you.
