May 29 2001 – Nell’s Birthday & Work Project
Work force included: Nellie, Roland, Jim & Barbie, Jennie, Jodi & Jana and Kyle. Jodi and Kyle started painting the honeymoon cabin, soon joined by Jennie, Jana & Roland.
Jimmie replaced some boards in the deck and made some major repairs. Kayson and Christian (and their cool hats) helpted the grounds crew pickup pine cones. When the honeymoon cabin had its fresh new shiny red coat on, we turned our attention to the main cabin. With the paint left, we worked on the front, with Barbie at the top of the big ladder painting the gables. She was the only one brave enough, and fit enough to make the climb.
While all that was going on, Kyle got out his professional window cleaning gear and gave the cabin a complete overhaul inside and out. When he was done, we had the cleanest windows that cabin had EVER seen! After a long and tiring day, we celebrated Nellie’s birthday and opened presents.
On Sunday, we all took showers at the Lodge then drove in to Orderville to go to church. The weather was beautiful and the cabins were wonderful.
