Sunnybrook Children's Home

Thur. we left Tall. Fl and went to Mobile Al. The park is small put good for staying the night.

Fri.we got woken up by a rooster a 5:45 am. 

We had a hard time getting the truck lined up with the king pin.  Just when you think you got it all down pat it doesn't work.  We had a safe but it seemed very long trip to Ridgeland Ms.we arrived at Sunnybrook Children's Home where we will be doing our sojourn for the next three weeks.  We will be doing it with 5 other couples. Sat. we got up early to go to Piccadilly's with the group (we were going to sleep in).  They had a good smorgasbord with fresh omelets, waffles, and pancakes. After we got back and I got the bugs off the front of the 5th wheel. We as a group  went to Jackson to see the old capital.  We learned a lot of history in Ms. and the area an  about the city of Jackson.

Sun. after church the group went out to eat at Piccadilly's again. Then we got back and had our meeting telling us what we will be doing.  We are going to paint the inside of the older boys home that is right behind our campers. Sunday night church then a trip to McDonald's for ice cream.  Monday after our devo we started working on the house getting it ready to paint. I fixed a couple of doors to the bedrooms, a broken drawer, put on new locks on the front and back door, Linda got a mixture of stuff and washed the walls for two days. Tues. I took the back splash in two of the bathroom vanities.  They had gotten wet and swelled. We found some trim boards and I will be trimming them out after the painting is done. We started to take down all the doors for  they will all be painted. Wed. This morning I did one of my first devo. We fixed more broken doors and cut molding for the big mirrors. Linda is now cleaning doors and putting on primer. We also got a call this morning that mom had  fallen out of bed and cut her head and has a goose egg in the middle of the night.  She had to go to the hospital and was admitted for observation.  She had just been to the Drs and labs were showing an issue with her kidneys so dad is hoping they can deal with all that while she is in the hospital. Dad does not want us to come home as of yet.
