Day Two, in which I run into a girl I know in my driveway

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.
