Saturday

Saturday, which began as a half day of work, ended more like a 3/4 day of work -- somehow ending at 12 noon morphed into something like 2 PM.

Finishing work takes time. This has been demonstrated by work in the front room which never seems to come to a conclusion. The shelves are in and much of the quarter-round molding below it. The upside down scarf cuts were intellectually as demanding as the physical cuts themselves.

The men's room leaped ahead with the installation of over half the Melamine wallboard and the creation of the stall framework. Additional tiling was also done. While far from finished, the room has already taken on a much brighter and appealing face.

Additional Notes: Melissa, the church member who provided last night's dinner, has asked to be put on our NYS-FITS+ email list -- she's ready to join us in the Fall; Tom fixed the church's WiFi, so communicating has become much easier; we have begun talking about a quick return to D.C. to complete work left undone this Spring.

Please keep the congregation of Casa del Pueblo and their pastor, John M'Akwalu, in your prayers. They are laboring under difficult circumstances to be faithful witnesses in this corner of our nation's Capitol.
