It's a wrap!! Dutch wrapped up his "new office for Bruce" project a little over a week ago. The 2nd floor of the barn looks almost completely different than it did when we came here. He did an amazing job!! His next remodeling project WAS going to be a big undertaking- remodeling the kitchen, BUT this project has been put on hold & Mr. Dutch is now officially a "Maintenance Man". With the Coleman's leaving this month, someone will need to step in for a time & do some outside work, & stock the wood shed for the winter. So Dutch's new role, for now, will be to fill that position. Any folks in Lancaster (or elsewhere) looking to volunteer their time?? Dutch could probably put you to work cutting wood, or organizing the new shop, or, or... well let's just say we'd love to have you come & give us a hand shapin' some things up outside here!!
Although Dutch thoroughly enjoyed the remodeling work he was doing in the barn, he welcomes the change of pace & scenery that this position brings. After spending most of his time indoors the first half of this year, he now gets to work outside for a change. The other cool part about this is that this will provide more opportunity for the kids to work alongside Dutch, which is what I hoped would happen this year. And speaking of this year, I can't believe it's August already- who would have dreamed that time would go so fast here. We have enjoyed so much about this year & are so grateful we got to experience it. It is, of course, hard to see the Colemans leave, but we are praying that the Lord will send another family to take their place. We realize too that when it's time for us to pack & leave here it will be a hard good-bye. We have made many new friends, & will have reasons to come back & visit (or maybe retire here) Ha. We look forward to all that God has planned for us as we finish out here & pursue His will for our lives.
