This is tori logging on for the last time

Today we are leaving. Well we actually left already. We left the site at seven thirty and went to mcdonalds for breakfast. We piled into the van and started a game of country city state. And five hours later we are still playing with out a start over. I am ready to be home, although this week has been exciting and new, and a chance to get out of e city for a while, I miss it and my family and friends. So we are sixty two miles from Richmond. And almost home. I must say thanks to all of our prayer partners for helping us to stay safe. See you all Sunday! Tori is. Out.

We are on the way home!

We are in the van on the way home. We just went over Afton mountain. We left the center at 7.30 and stopped at McDonalds for breakfast. Joni is going to PA so we split from her close to Waynesboro. We have had a great time but I think everyone is ready to be home. Thanks to everyone for all of the prayers.

Our last work day

Well, today was our last day at the work site and we leave tomorrow. It was beautiful today and the coolest since we have been here. Joni came up to see our work and then Jack spent the day with her. We finished painting the kitchen, we finished the steps and did other odds and ends. The work on Mr. Cody's house is done until next year. Tonight we are having leftover night so we will have a choice of whatever we want to eat.

Hey this is Tori logging on: day four slash five

Hey guys and gals, i apologize for the nonexistant post yesterday. I was going to, but i was having so much fun that a ran out of time. Run down of yesterday was, we woke up for ms jans birthday breakfast, then we headed to brushing falls. It was a ton of fun. I took my shoes off and jumped from rock to rock, praying that i would not kill myself, well i didn't:) then we went to a cool little store and bought stuff. Then we went to another store which was nothing compared to the other store. Then we went to a dairy queen Eco mended by one of carols friends, mhe said that they had the worlds best hotdogs. They were really good. Then we went to pipestem. There we had a blast, we played mini golf, then my best friend mr chuck and uncle Tommy went to play big people golf after they drooped the rest of us off at the gift shops and the tramway. We bought more stuff, and i went down the tram and saw the river where i saw a very large eight legged fury thing the ran across my foot, i was later told that it was a tarancula. We went to dinner and then i raced my best friend mr chuck to lookout tower. I thought was gunn a die, i was so full and i ran it was hot and i was very out of breath. But i beat him. We came home and i played a very intense game of spit with mr chuck. Then we finished our evening with some skipbo. As for today, it went very well we got a lot accomplished at mr codys. I was supposed to help with stairs which i did, but mr chuck needed me to do some stuff. I got stung by a wasp that proved my point of being terrified. I went to pAint the face board on the porch there were wasps everywhere they liked me. Cathy took pictures, so you will probably geT a chance to see them. Ughh. They are not pretty. We came home and had a really good brisket. Then we went to see our park ranger when jack got a really bad toe injury. He fell and bleed a lot, but hopefully he will be okay. I am sure he will be apparently there is always an injury. He said that you can't fix stupid, i said yeah you can you just can't cure clumsy. Haha. But anyways. I will be back on tomorrow as it is our last full day. So:) PEACE OUT<3

Day 5

We had a good day at the work site. Chuck and Mark (our crew chief) got the roof on the porch. We were able to get Mr. Cody a new cabinet also. Cathy and I were able to get most of the kitchen finished and should finish tomorrow. We had a good talk from a local park ranger and learned a lot of local history. Unfortunately Jack fell and hurt his toe. He is ok but will lose his toenail. Ouch!!!!! We had more card games and another delicious dinner. I will post some more photos after I get home. Carol

Day 4 Cathy's Bkig

We're at Pipestem Park waiting for the restaurant to open, a usual activity for this mission team. It's been a fun day; a stop at the Pipestem Trading Post, Grandpa's Store, DQ, miniature golf, gift shops. It's been a good trip so far. Several jobs and several teams, seems to be just enough work to keep us all busy. I am getting tired of photographing the same eight people. So more of you need to come with us next year. It's enough of a vacation to justify using a week if you get several weeks a year. The sunsets have been awesome, beautiful full moon, a bon fire last night with smores. We have great food to eat compliments of Joni. Well Tori wants to blog, so bye for now.
