Cabin Work Day

Yesterday we had a work day at the cabin in Logan Canyon. Paul, Jill and seven of their children -- all except for Annie and Kari -- along with Lee and his daughter Nicki were there. Rosie and I drove down from Seattle to be part of this effort and to see Rosie's Mom and Dad. It was a great day and it is exciting to see the project coming to a close. Over the coming weeks there is still much to be done, but we are getting close to completion. While there will be things to be worked on for the next year or so, it should be ready for occupancy in June

Paul's boys dug out an area for the fire pit.
Lee wanted the strong young guys -- Jon Paul, Matt, Mike and Mark -- to move some big logs. They found an old bike in the shed that was on the property and used that for their transportation vehicle.

Here we are hard at work.

Rosie and I are in front of the cabin entrance with Paul and Jill. As part of our work I stained the support beams we are standing by. You can see my bike in the left hand corner. It was great to ride up the canyon.

After our work day we went to Rob and Mary's for a great dinner -- Rob's new passion is "hot noodles" and he made a pasta dish with shrimp, tomatoes, zuchini and some hot sauce. Then we drove up to Beaver Dam to see Mom and Dad's grave. It is hard to believe that tomorrow will make one year since Dad passed away. I miss them both every day.
