Greetings from Hollywood, SC. Another beautiful day - sunny and 70. Great for all of our outdoor projects.

The crew working on the skirting at the Smiley home finished up today and the front porch screening project should be completed tomorrow. The combined efforts of our carpenters and painters have made things move along real well. The attic stairway is moving along slowly but should also be completed tomorrow.

Signing the last piece of skirting

Meanwhile, the crew working on the ramp project at Duffy's is making great progress as well. All of the projects have experienced one sort of blunder or another, but nothing serious.

Working on the ramp

Our usual Seafood Jamboree that we normally attend on Tuesday night was cancelled. Rural Mission director, Linda Gadson was hospitalized and her prognosis should be ok. We ask you to keep her in your prayers also.

The food has been good. Everyone pitches in to cook, clean up or wherever they are needed. Since we may be wrapping up some of our projects tomorrow, we may be adopting an additional project involving an older home in need of major repair due to water damage. We will be assessing that project in the morning and will have more to tell you on that later.

Supper and devotions are over and most of the gang is involved in a silly word game. Sounds like they are really having fun - and they deserve it after the work they accomplished during the last two days.

Well, it's getting late and we have an early start in the AM as usual, so I will sign off for now. May God bless and continue to watch over all you, us, our families and those here in SC that we serve. Until next time.
