Half done already

Thanks Alice for the comment--it is a crested caracara.  I updated the earlier post.

It is hard to believe that we are half done with our February Project at Twin Oaks Ranch in Buda, TX.  Roy and I have been working on the Nurse's cabin.  Started by removing vinyl flooring and vinyl tile.  Repaired the bathroom floor.  Then laid backer board for porcelain tile--lots of screws--of course since the room was cleaned out we painted the walls. We have one bedroom tiled and grouted and the bathroom tiled.  We need to move all the furniture from the other bedroom back across the hall before we can tile the second bedroom.  May wait another day for the grout to set up before moving the furniture.  We will grout the bathroom tomorrow and may plumb in the new water softener for the dining hall--pex pipe with crimp rings so should be easy.

CC and Jo have been cleaning the kitchen since it has been remodeled.  New tile floor, tile counter tops, hanging racks--lots of dust. CC's knee has been a problem so she has been limited on what she could do.  She has been going to PT this month--that seems to be helping.

We enjoyed setting up for the Austin Christian Bass Club annual awards banquet.  An outdoor theme with rock, sticks, weeds, fishing lures in the center pieces--Debbie (Lady Host) is really creative. Roy and my first job was to pick up sticks and stones--check to make sure that no creepy critters were attached to the stick or stones.  Great meal and speaker.

We have been attending First Evangelical Free Church in Austin (large church).  Great SS class on what Questions do you have.  Last week the guest leader was a Physicist who talked about the wonders of God's physical creation--very interesting.

We have had several movie nights--St John in Exile, Carol Burnett shows, and the Super Bowl.  Celebrated Valentine's Day by going out to eat at Red Lobster.

I don't have many good pictures yet.  Cleaning kitchens and laying tile make boring pictures.

This is a beautiful place with big Oak trees and green grass.  They are updating the existing building and have plans to update the landscaping and add some additional buildings.  A great SOWER project--just needs more sowers to get all the work done.
