Day Four Adult Appalachian Service Project Feb 2011






As you will see from a short video and other images, we woke up to rain on day four. With panchos on, we did finish attaching the deck boards. Later some of our group returned to place a tarp over the deck to try to create a dry workspace for tomorrow. It is predicted to rain in the morning but be sunny in the afternoon. We are hoping to finish a railing on the porch deck before we have to leave. We also decided that our host would need a comfortable rocker to use on her new deck, so we talked with some of the staff. Keith located a store in Pennington Gap, where we had visited the night before for Bluegrass Music played by local musicians. Jane and Ted drove over to the store. We liked the rocking chair so much that we decided to purchase one for ourselves to bring home with us. While in the store we observed a woman siting behind the counter crocheting (she turned out to be the store owner's mother) and asked her about what she was making. Her response, "A prayer shawl." Imagine that!! Jane asked her where she gets her yarn and she said she orders it and gave Jane one of the catalogs from which she orders.
