Today was a very successful and interesting day. Breakfast was from seven to eight and prepared by Dennis, Carolyn, Charlie, Peter, and Linda. Everyone enjoyed the eggs and sausage and it gave us energy for the rest of the day.
Today we started a new project on a different site. We had to clear out a new lot that was overgrown with weeds. There is also a very old house with its roof caved in. Greg, Graham, and Dan worked really hard getting out the weeds as did everyone else. We also all worked very hard while playing tug-of-war with part of the house. Meredith and Allegra also worked very hard while planting new grass at the old site. The heat and humidity was really hard to work in but within the first few hours, we had all the weeds and plants cleared out. Jim, Peter, David, and Drew stayed back at the house and burned all the weeds the rest of us pulled out of the lot.
Dinner was a total success with chicken stir fry, Asian Salad, and rice made by the same cooking crew from this morning. Everyone enjoyed it and it provided energy for the big square dancing lesson on the basketball court. A woman named Irene came and taught all of us and the new group of people that came how to square dance for an hour. Roger, Drew, Ashley, Jim, and Greg didn’t go to the square dancing lesson but instead went to a service by one of the fellow workers on the work site.
We concluded our day with a usual rousing game of mafia, but this time, a lot of the parents joined in on the fun.
PS: Linda wishes her sister Mary a very happy birthday
