Another day...






Sorry folks - I really DID try yesterday to post but we couldn't get connected to the internet ANYwhere in town with our computer. (Haven't I mentioned before how I HATE computers when they don't cooperate?!) And, of course, it was after 7:00 so NO place in town was open that could offer assistance. Today they dropped me off at the library after lunch so I could use one of their computers only to find THEY were just closing for lunch (1:00 - 2:15). Plus our Verizon cell phone doesn't have service in this area (what's with that Cyndy?!). The definition of "city" is certainly different in Mason.

But enough comments about small city life...
The first photo shows some of our Habitat crew behind the homeowner to be of the house we’re working on – Patricia and her two kids. (They moved here from Buffalo three years ago and mom, at least, is happy to see no more snow.) While some of the crew painted (please notice it took three to hold the ladder for one painting - I was told to point out the slope the ladder was on.), others continued work on the soffit and the drywall inside.

The ladies paint crew happily finished the second coat of paint on the shed.

Around town... did you all know Mason is the birthplace of Fred Gibson who wrote “Old Yeller”? The statue is in front of their new library. ( The one with his tongue hanging out is Old Yeller.)
