We sang Happy Birthday 3 times! I surprised John at the Chamber of Commerce Mixer. I took a cake earlier in the day and brought it out at the dinner. Over 100 people sang to him. Sam and Justine were at the motorhome when we got back. Then Nick showed up around 9:30 .
As for me and my family we will serve the Lord. I can't fret about what we don't have. Here I am in front of my digs. I've been busy with church commitments, work and getting plans together. John spent the whole day cutting the nasty burned brush. We need to get it stacked along the road to have it chipped up by the Fire Safe Council.
We are making a pit barbecue in the middle of the compound. It is something we've wanted to do for years. We don't have to worry about setting the neighborhood on fire anymore. Today John and I put a few more courses of the fire bricks in the pit. The draftsman has the floor plan and is making the necessary changes to accommodate the cement exterior walls. We are a little anxious going ahead without a REAL budget. I have a feeling we will be working on the house for quite awhile. It will be nice to finally see building progress.
Labor Day was celebrated with friends and neighbors. They actually liked coming over to our campsite. The dinner out was the annual Virgo Birthday party. It's has been an annual event for over thirty years. John will turn the big 60 on September 18th. No info on the concrete walls yet, we wait.
