We have only one day to go here. Tomorrow after work we will disconnect and drive towards home. It’s always a little bittersweet as we look forward to the conveniences of home but we will leave all these people we have gotten to know. It has been nice sharing morning devotional times with Steven and Christina, our coordinators, and lunch times with some of the staff and the boys.
So it’s a race against time to finish this bathroom job I’m working on, primarily because the tile mortar has to set, then the grout has to be done and it takes its own time to set. So far, I am on schedule as I finished laying the tile this afternoon. I was asked to re-use the existing tile so it took a while to clean it up and chip off all the old grout from the edges. Some of them were broken but they went in anyway, assembled like a concrete jig-saw puzzle. Most of the cracks are behind the toilet, so they won’t be readily visible. This picture is the work in progress.
Deb worked in the thrift store, first cleaning and organizing a case of silver tableware, then sweeping the floors. All 14,000 square feet of floors.
She may be there again tomorrow, or she may not. A large group of volunteers is leaving tomorrow, and I would imagine the places where they stayed may need to be cleaned.
