Well, today was definitely stormy!! It’s a little weird to be back here and have a “severe storm” warning—when is hurricane season?!!!! The winds sure did come up, the lightening flashed, thunder rolled and rain poured!!!!!! Tim and I hand cut lots of fascia board with “snips” out in the rain. It was definitely a wet job and it looks a lot easier than it is!—finally, after an hour or more, Dee, one of the crew leads saw us hand cutting this stuff and said that she would go set up a saw station for us.—I will forever be grateful to her for that!!! J I spent the rest of the afternoon doing siding. Once the weather settled down and stopped storming, it actually cooled off a little bit. The closing ceremony will always be a fond memory—thanks, Tim for finding “the door” to get us inside the ceremonies! J! And thanks George, for your divine intervention so that we could get in the “door”! J! We met a young gentleman at our table that evening that was with the team from Ireland. It was great fun talking with him and learning about Ireland! I wrapped up the evening with one of my fellow volunteers, Bernadette, from upstate New York, in the lounge enjoying the really fantastic live music---lots of fellow volunteers from various sites were there along with some very interesting locals!
