River Day 10/17/2016

It was a later River Day for me this week, so I'm thankful the celebration was held much closer to home.  On the same street even!  Jay, Ted and I got together at Jay's place for an evening of fellowship and projects.  Can't beat that for a Monday evening.

Jay and Ted had gotten started a little earlier than I was able to (didn't think I was going to make it at all), and they had the first project done before I joined them.  We've been working on some "furniture" for a few weeks now, but usually during our Friday evening Happy Hour, or Prayer Meeting, whichever you prefer.  Anyway, Ted wanted some modifications on his, and I think he's got it done to his satisfaction. 

Jay had another project he wanted us to take a shot at, and after some experimentation, some head scratching, and some spare parts, he now has a functioning doorbell ringer in the shop.  And we didn't even break the working one on the main floor of the house!  This little project took a good bit of brain power, and I'm surprised it didn't negate the adult beverages that were consumed during the process.  Here is a perfect example of how a little perseverance pays off.

We didn't see the river this week, and we had no fire (although Jay wanted one) but it was still a great celebration of National River Day.
