Every day is a new adventure. At least that's what I promised Paula many years ago, and for the most part it has been. The first Carpenters crew is gone but there are a few stragglers that don't want to go back north, so they are always more than willing to help us get things done. This week, we built the trusses for the Carpenters Crew coming down in a few weeks to build the two houses they were supposed to build three weeks ago. But because of the muddy road, they couldn't build em. So Rick, Bob, Charles and I spent the last couple days building the trusses for a house 21 feet wide. Rick designed them to make room for a loft down the middle of the house. It will give the next team a good head start having them all made.
After we finished the trusses, we joined a bunch of people at the community Center to celebrate Calebs 8th birthday, WOW Caleb was just born when we first met them and built them a house. There was so much food (as usual) Turkey, Mole', papas, stuffing, cake, spaghetti, and so much more. I have gained 15 pounds since Thanksgiving #Igottalooseit. Afterward Carmelo and Ruth had filled two pinatas with candy and several of the kids from the colonia were there to help get it out. Another great day in the life of Martin and Paula. Two hours later we joined the Balmers and several other people at their place for yet another meal.
