We Made It!!!
Well, we're down 2 more folks, due to injury or illness. Prayers need to go out to Alyssa Mascioli and the brother of Nikki Fisher. We'll miss you guys a lot!
No blog last night due to a very long drive (made longer by 12 miles of construction zone traffic that added almost an hour to our trip) and a late dinner. But we made it to PA safely, had dinner at Friday's (on Friday no less!) and got on the road again at about 8am. Arrived in Oak Hill at about 2:30pm.
The facility we are staying at is amazing! You can't even believe the kitchen! Hopefully I'll get pics up later in the week. But there are 9 showers total, mens and ladies locker rooms, and a great big gym for the boys to play basketball in. Wait until Matt and Thomas see this!
Tonight, dinner was at Dirty Ernie's Rib Pit. Great food, great music, great company. So far, we've been well fed if nothing else! www.dirtyernies.com
We saw the first 2 works sites today. One is windows and doors, the other is building 2 decks on a double-wide trailer.
Tomorrow morning Dave and I will cook breakfast for the group...waffles, homefries, bacon, eggs...yum! Then we'll head to church and wait for the other group to arrive. Those of us who are hear are tired but excited for the rest of the group to get here.
BTW, when you see John T, asked him if he passed the Gas Away yet. You might see tears run down his cheeks for the first time ever!
Goodnight for now!

Hello!
It was a chilly 55 degrees here in Beverly this morning, and the temperature never rose above a delightful 74 degrees all day. Glad to hear that you are safely at your destination and that the arrangements are working out so well. Tomorrow's breakfast sounds fabulous.
The big event today here in Beverly was the unveiling of a very spiffy monument to Babe Ruth at our very own Cooney Field. Who knew that the Babe actually played an exhibition game there in October 1919, just two months before he was traded away to the NY Yankees?! He even hit a homerun in the 6th inning. Hopefully it wasn't something that happened at Cooney Field that resulted the you-know-what that dogged the Red Sox for so many years.
Deval Patrick stands firm - casino gambling in Mass still in limbo.
We'll be thinking of you in worship in West Virginia as we gather together at Lynch Park for the interfaith service. It should be very scenic if today's weather continues through tomorrow.
