Helena, Montana

Where did we run off to this  time you ask?


Well, we are helping out at Neighborhood Assembly in Helena Montana for the next couple of weeks.












The entire project includes a new 8,000+ square foot addition and remodel.  They have hired a contractor to build and enclose the addition before the weather turns.







Dan and Judi are charged with tearing off old siding and replacing the old windows with bigger and heavier ones. At this point the destruction has taken place and new windows are going in today. John, the project manager, had to recruit some manly men to help Dan.  Judi has not been power-lifting for some time, so her muscle mass was not up to snuff for this job.






All work and no play makes for not ideal retirement, so we did do some sightseeing yesterday. We went on a boat ride up the Missouri River to the Gates to the Mountains Named by Merriwether Lewis because the mountains seem to block the passage. However, as you continue upstream the mountains appear to move. These 'gates' open the passageway to the entrance to a limestone canyon though the Rockies. It was a great way to spend a hot Labor day.
The Gate is closed


Wait... What's happening???


A passageway is revealed!


Once we entered the Gate we discovered we were in a limestone canyon. It was beautiful. The perfect place to be on a hot day!!!

  1. Well, I'll try this again. Tried to post earlier and it didn't work.
    I am so glad you two are able to be serving our Lord by helping others and being blessed by seeing God's masterpiece together. You are blessed!
    Keep us posted on your travels and adventures. It's fun to read about them and see the pictures. Maybe include a video too. Love to you both. Remember me in your prayers. I need healing. Aunt Bess
