Outing to Annecy

On our day off today we went to annecy a city in the alps with a family from our village. It was a beautiful day on the lake.

Here is our group in fron ot the old prison.

Pretty, pretty, pretty!

Wallpapering 101

The skill of this week we learned was wallpaper aplication. After years of wallpaper removal it was interesting to learn how it goes up. We were putting up wallpaper at missionary friends, Dave and Susan Griffiths new house. This is Susan and I.

Here is Maribeth Taylor our newest intern, here for 6 months doing one of the messy jobs of wallpaper pasting.

August entertaining

We just finished up cooking for a group of 70 some cambodians who were here for a week, it was a long week but it was fun to introduce them to some french foods they had never tried before, one thing being creme brulee, they were all quite facinated by the whole thing.

All work and no play

Here is Austin, an intern and I working on tearing down the courtyard wall so we will be able to expand it.

Anne-Christine and I the offiacl dryers of dishes at the cottage.

I really like my new knives donated to the chateau by some English friends, finally i will be able to slice a tomato and stop sawing them.

Here is Anne-Christine and I being very happy after hours of putting up stucco in on the the chateau's dorm rooms.
