<\/a><\/p>\nThis was just the beginning.\u00a0 Like I wrote, it’s rained every day since they started so the process has been slow.<\/p>\n
Then the floor and the walls were built. See, the floor is wet from the rain!<\/p>\n Then the rafters. This is where it really begins to look like a porch.<\/p>\n The overseer says things are going as planned.\u00a0 Poor Belle and Molly. They have been penned up for days because the workers have to leave the gate open to get in and out with things so the dogs are penned up while they are here. They will love it when the work is all done. They still have a bathroom to remodel. Thirty-six years ago this same contractor built our bathroom downstairs. Until that time, this old house had one bathroom for five people upstairs. Built in the 1950’s!\u00a0\u00a0 I know because when they tore out the old toilet that was the date on it.\u00a0 We really needed a second bathroom then.\u00a0 Now he is remodeling the one he built years ago.<\/p>\n Molly and Belle enjoying freedom for a time.<\/p>\n Roof is still not finished, but they may do it tomorrow, I’m told.<\/p>\n The porch is a whole lot bigger than I imagined it would be.<\/p>\n Other things have been happening.\u00a0 The ladies at my church had a brunch last Saturday.\u00a0 The theme was “Wonderfully Made by God.”\u00a0 They used some of my quilts on the tables.<\/p>\n My chicken quilt. One of my favorites of all the ones I’ve made.<\/p>\n Tables were set with the church’s best china.\u00a0 It was a pitch-in. I made cinnamon rolls.<\/p>\n The little mug rugs I made were placed under the coffee cups and everyone took one home.\u00a0 I really had fun making these and have a few left. I made forty-two of them altogether. The speaker talked about how we are like unfinished quilts, but God has a plan for us and is making us into what he wants us to be if we let Him.\u00a0 We may look unfinished to the world, but God has a plan and He’s working it all the time.<\/p>\n One of our grandsons had his Spring instrumental\u00a0concert this past week.\u00a0 All the fifth and sixth graders in all the elementary schools in their town gathered at one of the high schools to play a concert.<\/p>\n The gymnasium was full and parents and grandparents packed the seats.<\/p>\n I am so proud of this boy and am so glad he is taking an instrument.\u00a0\u00a0 Next year both he and his younger brother will be playing.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
