To give you an idea, a typical day at L'Abri is half work, half study. It's
amazing how smoothly the community functions, with everyone assuming
responsibility for one or two duties each day and doing his/her little bit to
help. I choose to do my assigned chore(s) in the morning, then spend the
afternoon reading, listening to audio tapes, journaling, etc. Usually, I
have indoor chores, like helping prepare the lunch meal, cleaning the Manor
House, or cataloging the library. Last Wednesday, though, I spent the
morning transplanting 20 or so box trees from one garden bed to another, then
thoroughly weeding each bed. After, Andrew Fellows, one of the workers,
remarked, 'Well, when you come back in 15 years with your four or five
children, you'll spot a certain hedge and be able to say, 'Look kids, I
planted that!'' An exciting thought! (Four of five children, though...
hmmm...) Attached is a photo of my box trees.
There are four sets of families (the Fellows, with their four children; the
Bradshaws, with their four children; the Pauls, with their two little
boys; and the Drydens, with their son) and two single women, both in their
thirties, that live on the property here. The workers take turns hosting the
students for lunch and dinner discussions, and each student is matched with a
worker, who serves as the student's tutor for the duration of his/her stay at
L'Abri. The meals here are always hearty and satisfying, and interesting
conversation on any variety of subjects always surrounds the table. One
always interrupts one's morning or afternoon work/study for the tea break,
accompanied by volleyball and ultimate frisbee (incidentally, by the end of
the day, I've usually had at least five or six cups of tea, as tea always
follows the meals as well).
I've been amazed by the ethos of this place and by how the workers seek to
demonstrate Christianity on a daily basis by how they open their homes and
lives, sacrifice their previous income to living on donations alone, and
their patience with an influx of students who come and go, term after term.
Another work/study day, Day Thirteen, begins. I'm meeting with my tutor Dawn
again today and am looking forward to gaining even more insight into myself,
the truth, and the meaning behind things.

I didnt take this shot, it is a base image from Practical Photography's website for the DESC 2010.
Have done a little tweaking to the curves to bring out some of the facial detail, boosted the saturation a touch to give a warmer feel to the skin tones and had a go at cloning out an annoying stray hair!
This is an incredibly useful book. A lot of the art it describes is, of course, still there.

That's my dad. The dryer is the same one I grew up with. The washer, however, is new after my dad lost a battle with repairing the dryer's mate. And a hard-fought battle it was, too!

reminds me of day dreams and the song mushaboom by feist.
Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born oh
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups oh
But in the meantime I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay
Old dirt road,
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
knee deep snow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
o-o-o-o-old
I got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house oh
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done oh
How many acres, how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map
Old dirt road,
mushaboom, mushaboom)
knee deep snow
mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow,
mushaboom, mushaboom)
o-o-o-o-old
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old dirt road rambling rose
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
well I'm so-o-o-o-old
