The Day's Doings

I went over to work in the farmhouse again after I got home this evening. :) It's getting so exciting!! And I took pictures! Everyone will be able to see the progress soon, I promise.
Work at the shop was busy, as usual. Wanda (my boss) had an important meeting with some people about Benton Square. [I still haven't filled you in on that! So sorry. That shall come next time!] I did several funeral orders, as well as prep. for Valentine's Day and the Sweetheart dance at RHS. It was a full day!
The Lord's presence has been so very real to me lately; the work of His hand is evident in so many ways. I belong to an awesome God, of this I am completely sure! Praise His name with me, dear friends, and remember the great things He has done!
Love always,

Hard Workin' Gals

Today I spent from 3:30-8:45p.m. working on the farmhouse!
Jeannie was there for part of the time, and Alyssa was there the whole time. :) We had a really great day together, and the house is looking so much more liveable!
Here's a basic list of things we worked on:

- filling nail holes
- washing kitchen cupboards
- cleaning kitchen counters
- scrubbing/scraping the kitchen sink (go Alyssa! it was dreadful.)
- sweeping the upstairs and staircase
- staining the closet doors in my room
- hanging wallpaper in the bathroom
- measuring windows for blinds

- listening to our favorite radio stations
- girl talk
- cracking up at ourselves
- running back and forth in the snow to Jeannie and Papa's house for supplies

It was a marvelous day!
You know something? The Lord likes for us to have fun with our work.
Blessings in His precious name,
