November Crumbs

When we arrived at Kentucky Mountain Bible College the campus was ablaze with color and the weather alternated between pleasant and crisp. When we left after three weeks it was another story.  Click the picture to see.

The college is building a new chapel and apartments with all volunteer labor.  The MMAP men worked on the outside of the foundation.  The first job was spreading tar over the outside of  block walls. Bill Reed and Harold Leiting did most of the work.

Next they had to fill the trench around the building with gravel.  Jim built a chute, Ken manned the loader and with some heavy coaxing from Bill and Harold, they got the gravel where it needed to be..  

The women took turns working in the kitchen.  Here Shirley Leiting decorates the cookies which she and I made from scratch.  Let's see what's 2 1/2 times one and three-quarters tablespoons?  

Charlie Spencer borrowed a van from the college and took us to see the wild horses.  These were not the animals of Man from Snowy River.  These were horses people no longer wanted, and turned loose.  Apparently they are protected.  This one mistook the camera was a carrot. 

About the middle of the project it turned cold and rainy and the men started working inside.  They fixed up an apartment in the basement of one of the houses on campus.  It was in quite bad shape when they started, but looked like new when they finished.

Between these four couples we had completed more than 300 MMAP projects. 

Below is an interactive map which not only shows where we’ve been, but also pictures of the various stops.  First click View Larger Map (below) and then click on the placemarks to see more information, usually a picture.  Occasionally, when the stop merits it, there will also be a link to a web album (camera placemarks). Use the back arrow at the top of your browser to return here.  Hope you enjoy it.  We love hearing your comments.
