OUCH

My Heroes

JJ is an Iron Man and Gail was born an iron woman

they were amazing

-

and Matt has super- strength as well so
"THANK YOU THANK YOU"

I have also had other incredible friends help me but I didn't have a camera at the moment to record the events - somehow I will get them on this blog.

These concrete pedestals have been outside in the elements for over a year so they were even heavier than usual......like the table in "A Year in Provence"

Matthew actually groaned when he saw them - he has moved them several times - but never up a flight of stairs - it was scary.

ahhhh ........

remember those steel I-beams?

beginning to understand ?

This is a huge project - your interest in St. Marys keeps me energized and I love hearing from you

The Project

I saved the church and the church saved me. This wonderful renovation project began in August '06 with an attempted act of terrorism. I was to return to So. California from Wisconsin on the day that crazed people with explosives in their shampoo bottles were busted in London and the whole world stood still. I took the option of re-booking my flight a week later and set out to find an interesting place to make my new home. I drove to the country to see a lovely Victorian farmhouse and passed an old church with a simple "For Sale" sign - and the rest is history. Actually, it wasn't all that simple. My offer was accepted in September the same week I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Everyone insisted I cancel the offer....I was too sick - there was too much to do - the job was too big - I had to stay in California - blahblahblah. I told them it would give me something else to think about - a reason to get up every morning - it would save my life.

And it did.
