This would be me, reliving a summer in my childhood. My Father, being the money-wise Dutch man that he was, didn't feel the need to rent a cement mixer when paving over part of the back yard. So he and I spent many days mixing with shovel and hose, and pouring and smoothing cement sections. It all felt very familiar though I've had 40 years to forget what hard dirty work it was.
It may be our last time at this build site as we once again grouped together to spend the day working outdoors instead of in front of a computer. We've been working on this site for a year now, and it's supposed to be completed in April. Hopefully we'll manage to attend the dedication ceremonies this year, but failing that, here's a salute to the volunteers, the corp members and the site, not to mention a gratz for the families that will be moving in. The blue hat is Robin one of the Americorp workers and the blue shirt is our 'leader' Jonothan.
