Do-gooding



"Grow not weary in well-doing" was my Grandmother's favorite Bible verse. She took it to heart as she raised 5 boys during the depression in Nashville's mill district while her husband preached the word "in and out of season" to all who would listen(and probably to many who wouldn't).
John and Jessie Cheng came to the piney woods on Thursday. She is writing a book and wanted to talk through the story. We talked, we ate, we sang, we laughed.....you get the point. We had a very good time.
John picked up his drill the next morning and did much good for me around here. I see lots of things that need doing, but usually don't have the tools or the know-how. John had both!
The laundry room proudly sports new shelving - much needed shelving. How could one person collect so much stuff? Actually, that is a common question asked regularly by all who know me.
Do-gooders deserve a little fun in the sun, so after the shelving, the fire pit assemblage, the porch swing, etc, etc, they piddled in the pool.
They came here for a day of rest --- they left me with blessings.
