On Saturday we
went to a local cheese maker that uses only their own organic milk from their
own Guernsey cows. I think the people are Mennonite and they began in 1985. They
had about 15 to 20 different kinds and are they yummy! They have a great
business. They are only open on Fridays and Saturdays from 10am until 5pm. We
went at about 1:00 and stood in line at least 30 minutes, and when we came out,
the line was longer than when we went in. It wasn't cheap but boy is it good.
The work at the camp is progressing beautifully. So many volunteers...it's
amazing. Busy , busy. I start to say like worker bees and thought of the fire
ants that are here. Their mounds can be at least one foot tall. They are
serious.! We also had our first introduction to "no.see.ums". They are brutal, and
it's true, you almost can't see them. They feel like you're being stuck with a
straight pin....and there are lots of them:) They pass through the screens into
the camper. But I guess they're still not as
bad as chiggers.
This is a panoramic view of the campsite we are in at Camp Baldwin.

We went to the Gulfway Assembly of God church this morning, then to the Wild Horse restaurant for a buffet lunch. This restaurant, in Foley, Alabama, will give a second buffet free to anyone coming in on Sunday with a church bulletin.

Wow! Ed told me that if I ever started up with
internet , I'd be surprised how much time it could use up. I do love writing
back and forth, and besides I have been wrapped up with the work and fun and new
friends that are here at the camp.
Gotta go. The
camp is treating all the volunteers to an early Valentines dinner. So all of you
have a special Valentines Day. And remember that it is our God who is the true
essence of LOVE. John 3:16!!!!!!

Being Valentine's day, we got together tonight to exchange stories of how we met each other, and gave short testimonies. The ladies made some good munchies, and Terry and Alice also gifted us with a package of Lindt truffles.

Today is not a work day for Sowers, so I got some pictures before we headed off to town. A rainy day for most of it andf quite cool.
This above is an existing building, Magnolia, next to the building we are working on, shown below.
We painted the 1x4's in the first picture (lots of them), and nailed them for batten boards, window and door trim.
The ladies helped with painting a few mornings, but were primarily used to strip and clean the motel-type rooms used by the campers, as well as assorted jobs as needed.
This is the end of the second week of the Sower project, with one more week to go. We'll report on that work later.
Did we show this to you before?
Great buffet....
