Retirement Plans Anyone?

Friday was a duplicate of Thursday except that we finished the roofing today… yeah! The weather was very cooperative so we worked really fast, got done early and spent the remaining time taking pictures with the care-a-vanners.


We were really intrigued by their dedication and decision to spend their retirement days building homes. They set the bar high for us and for most of us, this was a challenge. What a cool way to spend their retirement days… travelling around the country, and giving back in a most impressive way.We also got to meet the owner of the home that we had been working on. She was very thankful that we decided to spend our Spring break helping build her home.

This trip has added so much meaning to all of our lives. It has been a life-changing, eye-opening experience for most of us. We were challenged by the people we encountered, praised for deciding to use our Spring break to help others, got an idea of how to spend our retirement days, had fun at Disney World and ate loads of delicious food. We even learned how to hammer - holding the hammer at the end of the handle and pounding the nail as if it were the boyfriend that broke up with you :)

This is a video of one of the care-a-vanners who shared her personal story with me.
