Paving Day


They started very early this morning. I woke up smelling asphalt. It got up to 100 degrees this afternoon, but they did not stop til they finished. The picture above, Nancy watering the tomatoes tonight after supper, can hardly convey how different things look now.


Tim Traub is the man we have to thank for this major improvement of our property. He owns and operates Hemlock Construction Company.

I hate to break it to you Missionary Cenacle Volunteers, but we've lost some prime Blanket Time real estate to the handicap access. Sorry.

The playground area is going to look a lot better after the grass grows back. Tim took excess fill from the front and used it to level out the playground area. We can spread out around the campfire a little better now.

And I feel obliged to provide one more video. It might give a better idea of the noise, heat and smell the men endured all day. But then, they are professionals. We are very grateful to our many donors who made this project a reality.

WOW!!! What a great project. It looks wonderful. You have PAVED the way for an even smoother landing/welcoming at Trinita.

I imagine even the snowflakes are looking forward to touching down!
