We have arrived

We arrived in Jonesville around 1:30 pm today, and went out to see the house we worked on last year. The Johns (A, C and O) showed me around and we met the family. It was a nice reunion. The family is healthy and warm and dry. The house looks great. They said that sometimes it seems to be almost to warm, that's how good of a job was done by the ASP volunteers. Kathleen and Rex remembered John, John, and John.

We then went up to the ASP center and met the staff, Mitch, Alex, and Christina. Christina is from Madison WI, Alex is from Morgantown PA and Mitch is from the Twin Cities area. We settled in a little and then went out to meet our family. Mitch showed us what needs to be done and we met Ben and Jess and the 2 pitbull puppies and Oscar the fish (who is an Oscar). We will be insulating and drywalling their walls.

We came back after a quick stop at Walmart and Shoe Town, for some forgotten items. Dinner was chicken, mashed potatoes, green beens and salad. Desert was some chocolate chip cookies and some delicious brownies with heart sprinkles for Valentines day.

We are relaxing in the lodge having some good conversation and an good fire by John O.

Love to all, and a Happy Valentines day to all our loved ones (yes you too!)
