So much work done in so much heat!
It's Cindy here again, telling tales of Day 2. At the trailer, which is Darrell's home and the projects are 2 decks and skirting, much was accomplished. In fact, at least one of the decks will be done tomorrow, possibly both and maybe even the skirting, if we work very hard. A third job was indeed added. Right now, it is an outdoor painting job in an unincorporated town that was built to house coal miners. I'm told the ride to the site is quite scenic, but am also told that there is some racial tension in the mostly white neighborhood as more and more black neighbors move in. Perhaps, with God's help, everyone can learn to live in relative peace.
The food here continues to be amazing. Dinner tonight was baked chicken with homemade mashed potatoes and carrots. We haven't had it yet, but I'm told that dessert is Jed's creation of strawberry-blueberry shortcake! Betcha wish you were here!
Sleeping is going well, but here a rumor from the men's bedroom that a certain JT was sawing wood pretty hard last night...so hard that Giles had to leave and sleep outside the door to the room! Of course, JT completely denies this turn of events!
That will be all from me for tonight. I hope that Julie will consider chiming in later.

Hi Cindy et al,
It's hot here again too - 77 degrees at 11 pm with high humidity, and increasing humidity and a high of 92 degrees is forecast for tomorrow. It looks like the brief reprieve of cool dry air that we had over the weekend was only part of the planning for Chrlsea Clinton's wedding. Now we're back to our usual weather pattern again.
Here's an update on the local sports scene for any sports aficionados on the trip:
(1) Today is Tom Brady's birthday. He's 33! Wonder what Gisele is getting him?
(2) Now Youk is on the DL with a "rare thumb injury" but Mike Lowell is back in the line-up and hit a two-run homer on the first pitch he faced tonight.
(3) The Celtics will open their season with a game against the Miami Heat here in Boston. Can the old Big Three defeat the new Big Three?
(4) Shaq is coming to Boston with a one-year contract as the newest member of the Celtics!
Message for JT: Don't worry about chiggers, but please don't bring home any fleas!
Hope all goes well with House #3.
Loyce
