Another Very Good Day

Oh, it felt so good to sleep in this morning! I didn't get up until almost eight, showered, then went to the kitchen trailer to scronge (sp?) some breakfast. Coffee, non fat yogurt, fresh papaya and the granola Diane made for me while she was here! I tried to sit out on the deck in the sun, but there was just enough wind gusts that kept blowing my newspaper away so I came inside.

I finshed up printing the programs for today's house dedication -- the ones in Spanish (THANK YOU, TODD!) and also printed the pictures of the Ontario group that was here this week. I usually print two 8x10 copies, one for them and one to put up on the wall in the dining trailer.

I did a few more piddley things then it was time for lunch (leftover tamales - yum!) and then to get ready to go to House #2 for the dedication.

Here's a picture of the family. Ana Maria will be living in the house with her son Jose, the one on the right. The son in the middle has been staying with them while he recuperates from recent surgery. It's been helpful to have him there as his English is very good.

The lady on the left in the picture above is Edyth -- she's going to be the homeowner of House #5. She's originally from Colombia and is very fluent in Spanish. It was great having her there as she could translate for Senora Ana Maria, who is holding the wall hanging presented by Mennonite Women while her sons hold the quilt made by the Portland Mennonite Women.

There was time for a nap this afternoon after we got back. Then we were off again to House #1 where all of the long-termers had been invited to dinner by Elsie and Steve. They wanted to say good-bye to the folks who had worked on their house who would be leaving Dulzura this week. We not only had a feast, but a lovely evening of fellowship.
