Great Way to Spend a Saturday

One of Aaron's friends from the hospital has cancer and has been feeling tired from all her treatments. It was her wish to have her house all in order since she hasn't been able to keep up with everything. Her friend organized this huge project and it was awesome to see so many people show up to help her out, over 30 at one point.
Our first job was to scrape, sand and prime the garage door.


We painted her whole house and trim. A rare picture of me below...someone else grabbed my camera for a change.


Pookie got a little too close to the action


We built her a new deck and railing. It will be painted later, and it's too bad I didn't get a picture of the final project (any of them for that matter) because it looked really nice.


Her neighbors had attached a hammock to her fence and broke one of the posts. Aaron took this project on, and spent about 45 minutes just trying to get this old post out of the ground.


The newly replaced fence post


The friend that put this on left these lists all over so we knew what needed to be done.


We planted up flowers to give her yard some color


We weeded all her flower beds and spread bark dust on them. Aaron went back and dusted off all the steps and rocks.

The group also deep cleaned her entire house, replaced outside light fixtures, brought food for everyone and countless little odds and ends jobs. Everyone just jumped in and it was amazing what a group that large got done in a small amount of time. Aaron and I had fun giving our time and energy to someone that really needed it.
