Monday at the Ranch!

Well Monday is drawing to a close and everyone is tired. The guys worked all day trying to open up a trench behind the building to put a drainage pipe in so the water won't pool back there and cause problems. Some of those rocks just don't want to move though! The ladies helped out by moving smaller rocks and trying to dig some of the dirt out. Jerry and Darlene succeeded in getting the first coat of compound and tape on the drywall and it looks really great! You can sure tell Jerry knows what he's doing, and Darlene's had a lot of experience helping him. We did crafts with the kids after lunch and had a great time with them. I got off easy this afternoon by finishing a quilt for Lucy. It's hard for me to even consider that work! We're all having a great time as always, and the time seems to fly by when we're down here. Hope you enjoy some of the pictures!

Well I had good intentions of posting this Monday night, but right in the middle of it the power went out - so much for that! The phone line was out this morning (Tuesday) but it's about one o'clock now and things are back up and going so I'll try again.

Dale and Denny stayed behind this morning to start things while the rest of us went to the open market - what an experience!! The sounds and smells and sights are quite something to experience! Dale's is working on that stubborn rock that the guys spent sooo much time on yesterday & still not making progress very quickly! Denny started painting the long front wall and the rest of jumped in to help with that job when we got back.

I hope you enjoy some pictures of our week so far!
