2nd week at Childhaven Child Home

Thur. We had a great week below is the guys replacing the fascia boards on one of the homes.  I am painting the new wood we put up.

Fri. Linda and I drove downtown and visited some of the old buildings.  Below is the Sacred Heart church where one of the deacons told us about the stain glass, pipe organ, and other things about the church.  That night some of the sojourners that live here had us for dinner.  There home was over a hundred years old and there father went to the stone quarry and cut the stones for the house.

 Sat. We went out eat at a local bakery.  We had spinach quiche, and two different kinds of cinnamon rolls. We went to the Farmers market which did not have many vendors.  The only produce that can be sold is that which is grown local.

Pictures below are of our walking tour of the old Cullman. The house below is a replica of Col. Cullman's home.  We then visited the old train depot and some of the churches. We went to a furniture store where in years past the upper floor was the skating rink.

 Below is some of the variety of street signs the Amish, historical district then the reg. city street signs.

 Sat. night we went to the Old Cook Stove (Amish dinning) the food was great with many choices and homemade ice cream with the fixings.

                    The folks that work there sang us a couple songs.  There singing was wonderful.

                           Some of the decor is this wash machine and dairy farm milker milk can.

Sun. after church we went to All Steak for a lunch brunch. So much food and so little time.  We do not think we will be able to fit into our clothes for the two weddings coming up

Mon. It rained all night and day. The girls finished one of the secretary office and worked some more in the kitchen of the main building.  The guys put in a vanity in a bathroom and replaced 10 lower cabinets in the kitchen of one of the homes.  Tues. We woke up to 38 Degrees. After our bible study that I led we finished priming and putting up fascia boards on one of the homes. Wed. I thought Tues was cold 29 this morning when we woke up and 52 in the rig. Today the girls kept cleaning and reorganising the Kitchen in the main building. We started the fascia board on the next house.  The staff at Childhaven had a wonderful lunch for us picture below and our the group picture.
