Sobonan ( good morning or afternoon which ever the case might be)

Well there isn't really anything too photo worthy happening lately, sorry : ( I have been doing very un noteworthy things: laundry, sewing, washing tables, In general, just trying to help out the ladies. It's really for me not them, they don't need me not one little bit, but I just like being with them.They are trying to teach me a little zulu, I emphasize trying. I'm a slow learner and the clicks and clucks I just cannot seem to get. Well something good is coming from it ...they get a good laugh.

As for my beloved he is, of course, always busy. One of the camps, somehow, broke the wooded barrier, we had to keep them from parking in between the dorms. So of course, Howard got right on it. The pix below will give you a glimpse of what he came up with. A metal post, filled with concrete surrounded by concrete. It should fill the bill, just a little painting to finish up.




If you look near the roof you can see that there was once an awning over the concrete pad. It was held up by two post but when Howard tried to attach the chain to the post it fell and the awning came with it. Fortunately Howard has, yes I did say it, a hard head ( n more ways that one). He is fine and had no lasting injuries. He was able to find a yellow florescent paint and a red reflective tape for striping. It looks pretty good for an old man :) if I'm not mistaking this is the oldest building on the grounds. One of the men that came for a camp told me that when he was a boy he went to school in this building and then it was a clinic for the area. He said it was very nostalgic for him. I believe it was then the original chapel for the camp years ago before it belonged to ZEMA.
