For the last 16 yrs. my sister Sharon & her husband Lindell have been going to the Shiprock Navajo Reservation in NM with a group of people from Denver area churches to assist mainly the elderly or disabled whose houses need interior or exterior repairs. This year we accompanied them and it was a great 4 day experience. The group was split up into units of about 6 people and assigned a specific project. Our group made exterior repairs and completely painted the house for a couple about our same age, maybe even a little younger. He had survived an auto accident that he shouldn't have survived so had some physical limitations.

And Russ wondered if I'd ever painted!
Debi seems to be further along, hmmm, oh well, I
was taking pictures, too. |

This couple was so nice. Always had water available.
Coffee & donuts one morning,
Navajo fry bread one day, very yummy
popsicles a couple times a day (refreshing in the heat),
and this day they'd made Navajo Tacos for us and
they were delicious. |
