My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style. – Maya Angelou

Today started out a lot warmer this morning, and continued to get more so throughout the day.  The site where we are doing roofing and inside work continued to move along. All the roofing that was completed was done before lunch so that it wasn’t too hot, although it was still mighty toasty! We were able to install the surround kit in the back bathroom, as well as the new faucets. The framing and the new window was installed in the kids room as well. We are moving right along!

At the other site, we are progressing as well. The toilet and faucets are hooked up in the bathroom and the surround kit almost installed. Tomorrow we should be able to finish up in the bathroom, install the window and fix a vent in the ceiling.

We also sent a group to Energy Express again. Sounds like they had a great time working with the kids again. After Energy Express part of the group came back to The Way to help with the last day of  Basketball Camp, while part headed to one of the sites.

Tonight we had breakfast for dinner, a PV tradition during the first week of the program that dates back more than 20 years. A couple (or several, depending on the year) of the male volunteers cook for the dinner. Their breakfast of choice: pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, doughnuts, coffee and OJ.

Reflection tonight was about small moments that have a big impact. Sometimes we never know how much of an impact a small thing we do will have on another person. We were asked to share a small thing we did or that someone did for us this week.
