workday at miss bell's house.

this saturday, jeff and I went to athens to help josh and clare clean out miss bell's house. she is an elderly lady (in the hospital now for hypothermia) who lives alone in some pretty dire conditions. her house was in need of a major clean up and clean out so about 10 or so people showed up to help. here's some pictures i swiped from clare's blog. you can read the whole story at www.thegreengate.blogspot.com.

Clare made sandwiches and the best healthy rice crispy treats ever for us to eat before we started. notice the empty dump truck in the back.

getting started. we got rid of a lot of old broken stuff. included this table....

...and this old hospital bed.

we found lot of old pictures. and wondered who they were.

we found lots of roaches...and wished we hadn't.

we took a break.

we went back to work. check out clare tackling the bathroom. glad you finally put gloves on clare!

we laughed real hard.

we FILLED UP the dump truck. still can't believe all that stuff. (who's that big dork?)

and then we went back to the adams' place and ate delicious lasagna made by clare and brownies and ice cream and had tea and at around and talked and talked and rested and got all cozy by the fire.

and all the boys snuggled and wrestled on the floor. and the girls rolled their eyes and laughed at them.

the end.
