Dennis has been doing a great job keeping the team organized, happy and on track. And yes, he requested the above title for this post 🙂
An incredibly amazing mission thus far! So much to share, so little time to do it. I have new found admiration and respect for every member of this team!
If I did half as much as Frank has been doing when I’m his age, I’d have a heart attack.
If I read blueprints/plans upside down in reverse like Mo, I would be an architect.
If I played ultimate frisbee like Mathias, I would be the next athlete on the Wheaties Box.
If I joked like Tommy, I could win Comic-of-the-Year award.
If I shot pool like Gary, I’d be hustling on weekends at the nearest Billiard Hall.
If I took orders like Art, I could be a waitress at Philipe’s.
If I used power tools like SteveO, they’d call me Tim the Tool Man Taylor.
If I ate like Robert, I’d crush the scale.
If I shopped like Peter, I wouldn’t be writing this, I’d still be in the store looking at shoes and tool belts.
My memorable moments so far:
- Praise the Lord for providing nice meals! (I was really worried about a red beans and rice diet!)
- A flying hammer that fortunately didn’t kill any one! (Ooops, it slipped!) Power tools in the hands of amateurs and no one’s gotten hurt! (Whew!)
- Missing the first game of the Lakers/Suns playoff series because a couple of girls wanted to watch a chick-flick on the community TV. (They beat us to the sofa.)
- Seeing one side of the house we are building fall over. (Another “Oooops”)
- The look on the HFH foreman’s face as Tommy nailed down the tarp we bought to build a “shaded break room” at the work site. (He wasn’t so surprised that he didn’t take advantage of
our shade!) - Tour of the “kitchen on wheels” where all of our meals are being prepared. (Perhaps the VBS budget could spring for one of these!)
- I’d write more, but Game 2 of the Lakers/Suns Playoff series has begun and the men have claimed rights to the TV tonight!
