THE WEEKEND WAS GREAT!
I'm sure most of you don't want to hear that. Finally no rain for us! This weekend we could do all the fun things like dry clothes, clean the mud out of the car and go to market with out drowning. 
It was beautiful. Nights are still cool in the low 60s but makes for good sleeping.


 This is Joe's new office from here he can watch the hummingbirds as they fly through. There are lots of them. We need Doc Collier here to tell us what kind they are.
I'm not sure how much work he gets done but he looks busy.



I spent two days cataloging and organizing 3 totes of fabric for quilting. We all are so excited and  very thankful for all the donations that were made! Beautiful fabrics!











Today the ladies were making coffee mats. We will be selling them in several different places. 
One of which is Tennessee.
Today was the last day of practice from here on out we will be making the ones for sale. We will be showing those later.


We have approximately 32 pillows for sale. We will be using Belize Market Place Face Book and several local shops. As of today I think we have already sold 10 so the girls are really excited.  AND me too. They have worked very hard and have done a nice job. I'm very proud of them.

Tomorrow we are in Buena Vista working on the same projects.
More tomorrow I hope!

Sorry about the delay...……..the internet and computer just wouldn't cooperate.
Sometimes that happens.

Today is Friday and we have been here for 3 weeks now!
So hard to believe 3 weeks ago today we punched out of the clouds above Knoxville to see a beautiful sunrise then on to Belize.

The past three weeks have been full of getting settled, organizing our sewing supplies and starting  our sewing classes.
The girls have been really busy in both sewing rooms. As you can see by our production of pillows.
We made 36 pillows!
They will soon be going to Market on FB.


Right now we have 6 ladies sewing in Los Tambos.

and we have 7 ladies sewing in Buena Vista

We are happy to have some young ladies that are really interested in learning and they are doing very well.Then we have some really younger ones who just come to play.



 We have had a lot of children out
with colds and flu.
Occasionally we have had visitors...……….
This is in a tree just off the porch. We have the momma and the baby on the left and the papa on the right. They are howler monkeys and they can make a lot of noise. This day they were very quiet. The baby must have been sleeping.


This is such a beautiful place and looking around every day it never ceases to amaze me how Great God is! We are blessed to have the opportunity to serve Him.

So far my computer and the internet are still speaking to each other so maybe I will be able to give regular updates.
Have a wonderful weekend!
