Many Hands Make Light Work! :)

So excited to share some pics of our work day on Saturday!  We had about 53 of our dear family and friends show up (that's 106 hands! ;) and did things ever fly! :)  By 3pm (4 hours later) the job was done and we were elated!

Fred is doing real well with the new protocol.  The first week he took smaller doses so his body could adjust and this week he's up to full doses, which is causing some serious detoxing which results in tiredness.  So...he's taking it easy and letting his body rest instead of trying to push and keep working full days.

So here's the pics!
Let's start with the backhoe operator! Love this guy! XO

Loading out the old foundation 
Our truck drivers! XOXO
Pickin up....

breakin up....
 
loadin up...

and loadin up some more!
 Then there were the tree trimmers, grinders, brush haulers and brush whackers.....


Let's see, I think we started with 20, but the final count was closer to 22!

I'll vouch for them, they really did help load that trailer....plus a few more!
And a handy fella that generally cleaned up around there... :)

So we don't want to forget about the walnuts.....
We racked up piles of leaves and walnuts......

and more walnuts.....

A whole truck load of walnuts!!!!  I'm sure glad we had help!

 Then of course we had lunch! Thanks to the kind neighbor who opened his home to us!



So just a brief overview of the day.  We appreciate so much all the support we have been shown.  We continue to stay in our peace and continue in an unreasoning trust by HIS grace!
Love you all!

  2. Isn't it wonderful to see the overwhelming response of love from your fellow pilgrims, reaching out to help lighten your load? But 'human love is thus confined'. How precious to know that the love of the Father will respond to your every plea and prayer, as only a loving Father would. We continue to bring you to our loving, heavenly Father, knowing that He loves you more than our minds can comprehend, and trusting that He knows how to keep His own, come what may. Love & prayers ~ Carol
