Warm Weather and Wonderful Volunteers!
If weather like this doesn't invite you to Vancouver, I don't know what will. WoW! There are lots of reasons to get up in the morning and this would be one of them. Thanks to Don and Linnea Groom and Roger and Alayne Adams for all their hard work on the house and in the yard. We made several comments as the work went on to the effect of "It's looking less and less like a crack shack all the time!" All that to say that we've needed to get hedges trimmed and flowers planted and walls repaired and so on and so on. Thank you to wonderful volunteers who give of their time and to all the women in the house who worked really hard too on very hot days to cut lawns, make trips to the transfer station with garbage and yard trimmings, give lots of glasses of water to folks, prepare meals. Thanks to all of you.
