Working at home

 Happy 4th of July, everyone!  I thought you might be interested in what Dave is doing while he can't go to work (LANL repopens on Wednesday.) Well, since we came home, he has been busy doing many of the things he never seems to have time to do.  He has cleaned and organized, replaced screens, built shelves, and a myriad of other good jobs. And I thought I'd post photos of the most impressive: our new covered deck!  This has been in the planning stage for years and was worked on before the fire, and now is finished.  And we'll break it in tonight with our friends, the Baers, and have a July 4th barbeque

 He did a lovely job, didn't he?

This July 4th we are particularly appreciative of the firefighters still on the lines at the Las Conchas fire.  As of early this morning, the fire was well over 123,000 acres, and there are today over 2,000 people fighting to contain the blaze.  We are grateful, for their hard work, by God's grace, spared our community.  Please continue to pray for containment (now at 19%) and for the safety of the fire fighters.

Here in White Rock, we have periods of pretty heavy smoke, and I am ready for some real monsoons to cool the temps and refresh the air.  So please pray for rain as well!
