FIRST WEEK OF WORK

we have been busy this past week..we have been working with 2 college groups one from iowa and the other from boston both a good group of students they give up their spring break to volunteer for habitat and other places..

on st partick's day the care-a-vanners decided to enjoy a corned beef and cabbage dinner so we all  gather what we had for veggies and bought some corned beef..it was cooked in a coups of different crock pots during the day then all put together and it was mmmm..

today was our last day with this group of students so it was a good-bye to them..we even worked  a short day as there were several t/storms warning and it was felt that to be on the dave side we ought to come back to our rigs..back we came and so far no storms here but where we were working the rains came down in buckets etc..

it has been a good week and 1 more week to go then time to move on..
