Friends and Habitat for Humanity

We are almost to St. Petersburg FL where we will spend two day with our dear friends the Bensons and the Hitts.  We spent last night in at Georgia Veterans State Park in Georgia, near Americana, Jimmy Carter’s hometown.  Being so close to Habitat’s central office and Global Village, we decided to take a tour of the facility which has facsimiles of houses throughout the world.  Larry cried when he saw homes so similar to what he saw in 2006/7 in Haiti. 

We decided to spend part of our time volunteering for a project in Sebring near Tampa, FL. With Larry’s experience as a contractor and an Industrial Art’s teacher, Habitat was thrilled to have him come on board; they have 14 homes to build with a deadline in June.  Larry has been a construction leader for three Blitz Builds in Bay Saint Louis, MI plus he worked on local projects.  We are looking forward to spending our lives paying it forward.  We have been blessed so much in our own.  We have found that true happiness comes by giving of ones talents and skills.
