Morning progress is something I wish I could simply replicate and clone for the afternoons. This morning the group I was in working on the picnic shelter finished setting nine of the support pillars for the shelter. Tuesday afternoon we’d only done three and after lunch today we finished the other two fast and then worked on putting a plate around the outside at the top of the poles.
The plate was taking quite a while and it was at that point that I wished we’d maintained our speed and efficiency of the morning. Granted, with work that high up we could only do it at the pace we did since most of the youth are under 5’10” tall. I guess it’s just one of those things I have to accept. After we finished working, we got cleaned up a little and then drove for 50 minutes and had a cookout and a pool party at my house. It was great to see my parents and brother again. My parents had come up on Tuesday to bring me some stuff for camp, but I only visited with them for a short time. It was also fun for me to let a bunch of the people from the church see the horse farm and understand some of the context of what makes me ‘me’. My family and my home are a huge part of what shaped me. Tomorrow is a busy day (hopefully we’ll get the trusses onto the shelter house and start laying the roof), so I’m getting some sleep.
