This week

Didn't do too much out of the ordinary. Just our regular schedules. Amy works Monday 9:00-7:00, has Tuesdays off (that's the day she uses to shop and clean), and works Wed-Fri 9:00-5:00. I work every day app 7:00-5:00, though I set my own hours and sometimes go in early and often stay late. Neither of us work Saturday, but I go in a couple times a year when I have had a particularly busy week. So anyway, that's our typical weekly schedule. Thursday night is praise team at church for me, that is from 6:30-9:30. When I came home Thurday night from that, there was a bride standing in our house. She's a friend of Amy's who is getting married in the spring, and came over to try her dress on. Amy seems to have become the official bride advisor here lately.

Forgot to mention, last Saturday Dale and I took down a tree close to where Carol used to live. A guy at work lives on Bleeker St, and had a pretty good-sized maple in his front yard. He had to have it taken down cuz it was dropping branches on people's cars. You can't just cut a tree down and let it fall in the street, so we took it down from the top. I got a scissors lift at work that took us up about 25 feet (a scissors lift is a buggy with a platform that a couple of guys can go up in the air and do work safely and comfortably, and drive around up in the air), but there was still branches 20 feet above that yet. It was a lot of work, a lot more than I bargained for anyway. I will hesitate to volunteer for that again. Dale got a month's worth of heat from it, and it saved my buddy about $1800. That job took all day, I got home about 8:00.

Yesterday I went back to CMTS in Bernville. They are an organization that provides technical support to mission organizations. They take cars and furniture and clothing and just about anything you can imagine and give it to a mission or missionary who requests it. A couple times a year, they pack up some school buses with stuff and drive them nonstop to Mexico. They have a huge house that missionaries who are home for a short time can stay in, a large shop to work on the cars, and a couple of smaller houses for VS'ers to stay in. ANyway, I went back to do some door work for them on some box trucks that they have.
