They say that many hands make light work and that was certainly true on Saturday.
On first glance it appeared to be an overwhelming task but as we forged ahead and
focused on what had to be done the results were immediate and satisfying.
As the morning progressed our team grew larger and so did our enthusiasm. There were many treasures to be had and many memories brought to mind on seeing some of the old stuff from Hayden Rowe.
By noon the entire barn was cleaned out and sitting on one side of the barn were the 2 old kitchen tables ( picnic) that date back to Church Street.
The morning ended with hot dogs, high spirits and a wonderful sense of accomplishment felt by all.
The pictures really say it all and although Grandma hated to part with her things she surely would have been proud of her gang.
Thanks to all for great work and a great time.
