This morning was the usual breakfast...minus the eggs for some reason. Just before leaving to go to the work site, it started to POUR. Mr. Gower started off his van with a quote about someone changing their shirt to match a bandanna, saying, "If ya feel good ya play good!" It was yet another exciting van ride filled with many hilarious quotes from numerous people. At the job sites, we all started off working as hard as we could in the rain. Mr McGower's group started with the siding on their house, while Mrs. Donneloyden's started on their brackets for the roof. Both groups continued working hard throughout the crazy undecided weather: it went from being extremely hot, to pouring, to being extremely hot again, and pouring again. This erratic weather pattern continued all day long. I think we can all agree that lunch was much needed, appreciated, and deserved. After lunch, the group from Korea engaged in a siding race with themselves, which was quite an interesting sight to watch. The Donneloyden's started their siding, finished up putting plywood on their roof, and got their doors and windows in on everything. The McGower's finished up their siding, and even started painting, along with putting in all of the doors and windows. It is safe to say that the buildings were actually starting to look like houses! For dinner, Katie, Brittney, Sarah, and Kate went in early to cook, while the rest of the group stayed behind afterward to clean up after a delicious meal of Spaghetti and meatballs, with garlic bread and brownies! Dom and Jonny started a water fight with everyone while simultaneously having a dance party to music like Bruce Springsteen and Frank Sinatra. After eventful dinner happenings, card games and basketball games occurred outside and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. We were all grateful for some sleep and showers. Day three was yet another fun and exciting success!
Quotes of the day:
1.) "Dude almost got smoked!" -Mr. Gower
2.) "This is the thunder (holds up one fist). This is the lighting (holds up the other). You don't wanna get caught in the storm!" -Mr. Gower talking to Kevin
3.) "How old do you have to be to get a hot flash?" -Molly Feeney

ReplyDeleteYou cooked????? And no one got ill?? lol. House is looking good, It's hard to believe how much you are all getting done! All of you should be so proud of yourselves for what you are doing, and I hope this will encourage others to give of themselves too. There is no greater feeling in the world to know that you have helped someone change their lives.
