As some of you may remember I was just here for five weeks at the end of January, but my husband and I are normally here for June and July. I know, the hottest months of the year, right? Wrong! Actually it's cooler here than at home in Arkansas sometimes.
As we drive onto the campus we travel a long driveway
where we see our dorm/apartment straight ahead, the dorm/apartment where I stayed this winter on the left,
And this peaceful spot on the right.
We began our volunteer work on Sunday, Checking in 27 weekly volunteers who came from Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma to work in the depot or in the local community. Normally we have about 50 folks each week but for some reason the numbers are a little down right now.
We have a great two room apartment that, over the last couple of years, I have helped decorate.
This is a pretty old concrete block building but they keep it in great shape.
Lots of remodeling took place this winter in the office area where I work and look at what I ended up with!
A great place to sew. :)
Sager Brown has a very interesting history. In another post I'll tell you a bit of that but now I must try out that sewing area!

Very nice sewing spot!
ReplyDeleteYour little place there is looking cozy.
Hope the weather stays somewhat comfortable for you there.
Aaah, it pays to keep volunteers happy!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great place to stay while volunteering! So glad you have a good place to sew, also.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see pictures of where you are. And my compliments to you and your husband for the dedication you have shown to volunteer like this each year. What giving people you are! Do find time to enjoy yourself, especially that nice little sewing spot.
ReplyDeleteI always kind of envy you the summer at the camp. Can't wait until I am retired and can do something like that too. Your sewing area looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteI've met a lot of UMCOR volunteers, especially when we were in our last appointment. We had the MERCI center in our backyard, which served as an outpost for the NC Conference missions' work. So glad you're able to spend some time with this wonderful group of people. Blessings.
