Build days are a luxury for our legs and butts, but keep us
busy. Our team of 45 joined with 40 local volunteers to work on 12 separate locations
here in Aurora, Ohio. The group I joined had the good fortune of working with Nick
Iafigliola and his brothers, (Ryan’s Dad and Uncles). We repaired fire damage,
plumbing, and electrical, along with yard improvements on a local home.
Afterward we were hosted by the Rotary at Sunny Lake Park
for dinner and fellowship, where some played horseshoes, volley ball, corn
hole, or relaxed like me. We then broke up into our groups to be hosted by
local families in their homes, and 12 of us are the guests of Sandy and Josh,
their children Jesse and Charlie, and Auggie, their dog.

Today we enjoyed our second waking from sleeping in beds with a nice big breakfast provided by Sandy. Our group split up and attended three local
churches, and for some afterward going down to the lake for a day of boating,
followed by a big cook-out with another host. The day is once again too short
for all the life in it, but tomorrow we have the luxury of rising at 6, and only
a 60 mile excursion. This is our third night in one location. Tomorrow we start the 9th week of the trip, my second
week. The first week's mileage for me was 350+ miles.
