Sorry, I am so lax in posting.  This spring/summer has been anything close to looking like  a relaxed retirement time of life.  Or maybe it is in that retirees really get busy when they quit working.  Last month I experienced one of those incredible human times.  When a huge group of people amass with one common goal, that of helping each other.

Our friend Gabby researched and applied to a charity called KaBoom.  This charity provides playground equipment for low income area's.  These playgrounds are safe, colorful and fun for the kids.  And they are provided at very low cost to the community.  The community has to provide things like space, electricity, insurance, and people willing to work for a day or two building their kids a dream park.  

Lee was not able to participate as she is away from this área for the summer.  And I was only able to take pictures.  Close to 600 pictures.  On one very rainy morning in August, the residents of Eocaliptos  came togethter and worked hard.  And about ten hours after starting they were celebrating the new completed park.  Here are a handful of the pictures.  I erased the completed park photo's off of my hard drive for some silly reason and will post when I take new ones.

It is so amazing what a community can accomplish working together.
