It was a dirty and detail-oriented day on Saturday. However, Bee Creek United Methodist Church rose to the challenge and completed a lot of interior painting, exterior trim, and digging. Thanks, to everyone, for your work all day!
The diggers, thankfully, all had P.H.D.’s. No, silly, not the university-professor kind of Ph.D, but rather the Post Hole Digger. Much to volunteers’ dismay, our electric digger (a.k.a. the auger) is broken, and they had to dig by hand. But, in the long run, I think this made for a more interesting afternoon…
Chris and Clayton were digging a post hole right next to house when they happened upon a buried rubber kiddie pool. After much cutting and stabbing and laughing, the ground around them was strewn with orange kiddie pool carnage. I think the auger would have eaten right through the pool, but with their P.H.D., Chris and Clayton got to be regular Indiana Joneses (a true archeologist with a Ph.D), excavating their way through the pool with much adventure and action (well, kind of…).
This Saturday, May 3, I’m going to be out of town, so Bill Aguayo, the friendliest person I’ve ever met, will be site-leading. Get ready to paint and build a fence, and watch out for bear hugs: Bill is a heck of a hugger.
