Stretching the Daylight

The ending of Daylight Savings Time has complicated our work schedule. We are awakened earlier than usual by the morning light, and our work days are cut short by the earlier darkness.
Putting our heads together, we think we have solved our problem: we are going to get up earlier, eating earlier, having our devotions earlier, and leaving for our work sites earlier.

Spirits are still high. The laughter and banter go on as you might imagine -- just a step or two away from being totally out of control. And did we mention the "Pitch" card game that Edd Von Seggern hosts in the evening? (He seems to make up the rules as they go along.)

George Cheatle, our cook, continues to feed us in extraordinary fashion, which goes a long way towards keeping us hard at work. He even arranged for muffulettas to be delivered to our work sites one day! The flavors and aromas emanating from the church kitchen are simply wonderful!

Our NYS-FITS+ is quite a singing group. On Sunday when we were introduced in worship we broke out in song, and later, when the church choir assembled, we added 8 persons to their number! The church's yahoo.com network talked about the "fabulous choir" for days.
