Dale and I arrived at Highland Lakes Camp and Conference Center in Spicewood, Texas last Friday. Okay, so it only rained a little....and Saturday a little more and my word the SUN came out and the sky was blue for one entire day before the flood gates opened again and again...something like the snow you are getting we are getting with cold, windy rain. It's been a blast, sometimes I can even hear Dale when his lips are moving and he is looking in my direction. Get out that metal barrel in your garage, snuggle up in there and roll out to the yard and wait for a good pelting thunder, rain storm. Wow...you will have a great time.
Life is full of new interesting experiences. They (the more experienced SOWERS) say this is the Hilton of SOWER projects. It just might be. We are fed three meals a day on weekends. That weekend might start on Thursday and end Sunday noon. The food is fantastic. Yes, I mean it is REALLY good. We are also given a coffee break after working an excruciating long hour, sometimes even an hour and fifteen minutes. It's just awful! Here I am cutting out butterflies from foam with another SOWER lady and we have to stop talking and take a break, go have drinks and snacks provided by the camp for a half an hour. Then we go back to work for another 1 1/2 hours and go have a yummy hot lunch again provided by the camp then go home and wash last nights dishes. I leave them for something to do. Dale works until 3:30. It's a very hard life. But, I think I should be the one to sacrifice and not have others having to endure this because I refuse too.
Not only the sacrifice of all this hard work, but today after lunch we were requested to pick out several tee shirts for ourselves. I mean all we do is sacrifice. But, I am learning patience.....
Today the sun is shining, although it is very cold, mid 40's.
