The November project month is over!

As of last Thursday, we have officially completed the November Sower project at Father's Heart Ranch.  We have been busy with a number of projects but, unfortunately, the dog ate our pictures.  Just kidding.  The real story is, I forgot to take a lot of pictures.  So I will try to relate in words some of the events of the past week.  I was mostly busy fixing things the boys have broken.  A hole in the wall here, a kicked out window there.
The last few days we have had very gusty winds.  If you take a good look at the feeder you will see three hungry humming birds and an empty feeder.  I just filled this feeder 15 minutes ago.  The wind is blowing it around so badly that all of the solution has spilled on the ground.  Finally, Sunday morning I was able to fill it again and the hummers got their fill.

 A couple of the boys in "G" house asked me if I could make them a shelf over their bed to put things on.  I asked if it would be OK to do so and was told that it had to be absolutely bullet proof and if I would build one for them to look at they would consider it.  If the boys can pull this one off the wall or break it, they belong in some place more restrictive than here. 

One of the ladies in the office works 4 ten hour days.  It wasn't much of a problem until we went off of daylight savings time.  Now at 6 PM it is very dark here and she would like to have a little more light when she goes to her car.  Solution, a motion controlled night light.

There seemed to be a visitor in the office and when he was sighted he caused quite a stir.  Of course they named him Ben and we set out to eliminate him from the property.  This little jewel, equipped with a little piece of fruit cake did the job the first night.  Now we can go ahead and repair all the holes he chewed in the walls.


Having a little time to ourselves, Billie decided she would customize the home a little.  She needed a shelf for behind the couch to organize "stuff" .....

...a couple of shelves under the passenger side living room windows (for more stuff)...

...some pretty curtains to accent the dining room...

...and shelves around the potty to organize the necessary things there.  I was more than willing to provide her with what we needed.

We had another wonderful day of worship at Southwest Community Church.  We recieved the third and final installment of 'Hectic to Healthy' and just like the two previous sessions it was so good.  But as we sit here waiting for the "Reveal" service this evening (the annual business meeting), the clouds are really trying to push over the pass and cool things off and perhaps bring some rain.  The Lord knows we could surely use a bunch to make the "desert bloom like a rose".  May the Lord bless you all in the upcoming weeks. 

Since it is Thanksgiving week, we have two weeks off before we continue out wortk here.  We really don't plan to go very far but will be blessed to have our son and daughter-in-law spend Thanksgiving with us here.

  1. It's not just looking like home, it's looking more like "HOME SWEET HOME". Love the curtains! They really warm up the place.

    Hope all is going well and we wish you a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
