About 11:00 AM, Gabriella came to visit. She wanted to help. She has the home next door. It was built by habitat last year. She does not owe habitat any more work hours. (Each homeowner has to work 250 hours per adult, in order to qualify for a home.) She just wanted to help. After lunch, she gave us a tour of her house. She is very proud, of it and has it decorated very nicely. Then about 1:00 PM, Leticia and her daughter, came to help. It is their house that we are working on. I was worried, because the tile is pretty good, but not perfect. I asked her if she thought it was OK. She smiled and said "I love it!" Needless to say, my motivation returned:)
We will enjoy a couple of days rest and then be happy to hit the deck at 5:30AM to help finish Leticia's house.
great job... seems I can only rent a storage space in Las Cruces for a month... sigh

ReplyDeleteYou're an example of everything that's right in this country. After all the negativity of this election cycle, it's refreshing to see real Americans like you helping others that aren't as fortunate as we are. You're paying it forward. :c)
