Animal House

(Dave, Rob, Arthur, Emily, Eric, Julia)
Even though it is only day one, I can tell we are all in for a great week.  We were lucky enough to be given a great center and a kind staff.  Our work site has a spectacular view of the mountains, and best of all, an amazing family.  The owners, Mary and Joe, built the home themselves and take a lot of pride in it.  Still, they welcomed us with open arms and many thanks.  Mary is currently suffering from cancer, but her amazing spirit does well to hide it.  Whenever we saw her, she would always have a smile on her face and has an amazing talent of making that smile contagious.  I am very thankful to have met herr and Joe, and the painted hand-prints of previous ASPers.  These along her fence shows her appreciation of their great organization (ASP).  While it was plenty hot on the tin roof we're replacing, ASP is one of the coolest things a person can do with their summer.
