Where does it go?? Honest, I have really good intentions of blogging during the week (and write several little blurbs in my head), but when push comes to shove, well, it just doesn’t happen. Maybe it’s because it gets dark so early? But for whatever reason – here are some highlights of this past week-
Project Work –
This SOWER project is also just zooming by! It’s hard to believe that we only have four more days of work before we officially wrap up our SOWER year! The guys have continued to work away on the Stillwater House. (Which I now know is destined to be a foster family duplex! Pretty cool, right?)

As you can see by the number of trucks parked in front, there has been a big push to get this done! There are some sub-contractors (like the flooring and the exterior stucco), but mostly it has been volunteers and staff working hard to get this house up and running for their big ribbon cutting ceremony on December 28th. This past week we met there for our devotion time and had a beautiful season of prayer – dedicating this construction and the building, that through the mission of this house many lives will be reached for the Gospel and that God would get all of the glory!

We ladies were divided between kitchen work and holiday decorations.

Bins and bins of holiday decorations – and the place is looking great!

Meanwhile, we girls in the kitchen were making sure that everyone was being fed (over-fed actually judging by my scale)!

But we were having lots of fun doing it!

What a grand time we’ve been having – the cooking has been fun, but getting to know the kitchen staff has been oh-so-special!

Mary (second from the right)

and Jesse! What a treat to work with this couple!

We did some fun stuff, too!
Although we (Gary & I) are generally ‘bad tourists’, we joined several other couples and did some exploring at the Florida Caverns



It was an interesting tour – and a very fun afternoon!

(That statue represents (and honors) all of the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp) who were instrumental in making these caverns accessible in the 1930’s, but we can pretend he’s actually a SOWER wannabe, right?)

So that’s a little catch up! I may not be crossing too many things off my to-do list today, but at least “Do Blog Post” is done!

Hope you’re all having a lovely Saturday!
