Again many great volunteers arrived on the scene- and 80-year old
luthier, a 7 year old boy, bubbling with enthusiasm and ready to help, a
man with 14 BEAUTIFUL hardwood mallets made by his friend to donate to
the project, and many more.
Coming out of my driveway after lunch today, I heard someone yell "Shannon?"
I
scanned the jungle and about 30 feet away between you know, the usual
mix of fig vine trees and bambooish looking stalks, banana leaves and
birds, was the floating head of Jill! A girl who'd volunteered on a
Timberhomes project this fall, who I'd become quick buddies with.
"Jill?!?!?"
She and her two compatriots emerged from the forest (The
floating state of her head being revealed as a mirage caused by her
fig-tree colored shirt) and we stammered and hugged and just couldn't
believe it. She's here only for a week, doing a study abroad program.
