August 29th

I keep thinking about the old house being torn

down...the process is supposed to begin today.

It is so hard to keep up with all the details and

working with others timelines. I become

frustrated when I am told they will call, and

you sit by the phone all day, and nothing....the

housework and animals are being neglected,

but what else can you do ? Lord, help me with

my impatience.
Benny and my Homeless Friend went out to the

western house yesterday to measure it, to see

how it will have to be placed on the lot. It is 32

wide and 72 long. We think we will have to

demolish the car port as well on the burned lot

and cut down one tree. Hopefully, when

Back-Hoe man has it demolished, we can get a

better idea of placement for it.
2 PM...I hear equipment noise, but am I

mistaken, could it be my dishwasher ? I stick

my head out the door to hear the lovely

sound...he is there, and I hear the tearing and

grinding as the old house gives up to the

machine. Thank you, Lord, for holding me

tight, help me Lord, when I fall short, and

become impatient.....I think of Peter when he

walked on the water and then began to sink,

but the Good Lord reached forth and held him

up...How blessed I am, truly....
I hear the laughing sound of children, and as I

walk down the road, I see them standing

behind the police tape, jumping up and down,

shouting...."Get the windows, get the

window"...the door, the door!"....it is taking just

the right hit with the backhoe, and the walls are

down...as I return to look at it again, one of the

children is tied up with police tape...he looks

like a Mummy, and the others are laughing, he

is laughing as well, and begs to have Backhoe

Man save him the police tape when the debris

is cleared.. Backhoe Man promises he will save

him the police tape, to which he gets a high-five

and a big thank you...
The machine did the job !





Bringing the house down.....








The silouette of the telephone pole made the

shadow of a cross on the lawn.......



and a big THANK YOU SO MUCH to BackHoe

Man, for all his hard work today, and the

promise of being here tomorrow with more help

to see this journey completed .


Tomorrow they will load up the tin, pull out the copper wiring and plumbing, and they will go to the recycle plant.
