The Orphanage Crew

Jeff, Kerry and I are the paint team. The most unexpected joy thus far has been two boys who jumped right in yesterday, picked up the paint rollers and have been at our sides the whole time. Kerry is the trooper who has been on the ladder doing the top and Jeff has painted wherever the boys are not. Mixie took on the wrought iron gate and then the boys joined the effort. We heard a truck coming down the road and it was an old black pick up truck with the school children riding in The back. Wide yellow hair ribbons, matching their school uniforms blowing in the wind. They all jumped out, had hugs and kisses for us. After they changed Clothin g and had a snack, Kerry led us all in a round of "Hokey Pokey" and then the kids put on a VBS CD and we danced. They are so loving and appear to be well fed and happy. We have decided to return tomorrow to tackle the bathrooms. You would want to also if you could see them. then again maybe you would not. Great day. Mixie Hockman
