Camp Joy Day 4 Update–Thursday, July 14

CJ1_51Today in the morning we ate some delicious pancakes and some good sausage. Afterwards we stopped at Sheetz and had a Jam-Out session in some cars with the radio (Mostly Adhams). After tasty time at Sheetz we drove down to our final jobsite. Lil’ Shawn and Jenna started out on the front roof scraping and painting everything up. While they were on the roof CJ1_44Sean and Ryan were trying to be as proficient as possible on the side of the house and back corner on the scaffolding. While all of this was going on and Lil’ Shawn and Jenna got off of the front roof Momo was having fun with all of the others sanding down the railing on the back stairs saying quote on quote “Smooth as a baby’s bottom.” Then some of the extras without a job at a time started to scrape the shed (just another smaller house.) After they started on that a little we sat down and ate some nice sandwiches for the 4th day in a row and (potato) chips went flying during the trading market time. After we had lunch and chill time we went straight back to work CJ1_45and finished all of our jobs. After we finished our jobs then we had a fun time tearing down the scaffolding and putting it in Adhams trailer. Well that’s how our shorter than normal day went so… peace!

Editor’s Addition – After our goodbyes to the homeowner, Ms. Janet and Rebel, her ferocious man-eating miniature Papillion our merry caravan proceeded to the Goodwill store for our annual visit. We then jetted back to camp to change, with a few showering, then were off to St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Hancock for spaghetti. Back to camp for Vespers, then headed downstairs for fun and frivolity.

A bit strange this year as we have completed our jobs by Thursday, and with no further work available, we have a rare Camp Joy Day Off. We’re off to Harper’s Ferry for a day of fun on Friday. As John Messner, one of our past Site Coordinator’s, said…”This makes up for the year you worked til midnight in Paw Paw a few years back”
