Service Projects

For those of you who have so graciously offered to help out with anything we might need during these next few weeks, we have finally started to realize that we are in fact quite behind on several projects and may need help after all! Our end of summer projects that just a few weeks ago were in planning phase are now finding themselves left behind for days being by Marc's bedside. So if there are still any takers, we have begun to find a few things here and there that may require some assistance.

• Firstly, anyone like cucumbers? It has been a good year for them and we are inundated! The garden is beginning to burst, and if there is anyone out there with canning/freezing expertise, particularly in the corn/tomato/pickle areas, we are planning a canning party one of these days. The corn is still a few days away from ready, but I will update those who are interested as it gets closer. We also ordered a new freezer several weeks ago and it is in, waiting to be picked up at Home Depot. We will need to get that before the corn can be done, as the current freezer is in desperate need of retirement after 32 years of faithful service.
  
• Anyone like splitting wood? Sam will be organizing this project for early Saturday mornings or weekdays in the late evening, times when the heat is not so oppressive. I know, it isn't glamorous to say the least, but it is our #1 fall project each year and we can use any help that comes our way! Contact Sam or Becky at talula137@yahoo.com with questions.
• Miscellaneous hauling. Another glamorous task...we need to clean out the cellar to make room for the winter's firewood, and haul logs and scrap wood out to the field for splitting. Again, contact Sam or Becky for details.

And of course, your continued prayers and friendship are the best service you can give, and we appreciate each and every one of you for all that you do to show us your support. :)
