Our New School and Fellowship Hall

After our church service this morning, Larry and I went into the new school and Fellowship Hall that have been under construction for a little more than half a year.  It's the first time I've been inside it.  Larry has been helping with various parts of the construction.

Larry did a lot of work on the staircases, welding the banisters and railings.  He still has some sanding and priming to do before they will be painted.

There's my Commander down there in the parking lot.

We exited to find the sky jampacked with snow geese.

Calling Air Traffic Control!  Calling Air Traffic Control!

They just keep a-coming... and a-coming... 

They are headed to the far north coastlines of the Northwest Territories, Canada, and the northern shores of Alaska.  Some of them have come from as far south as Central America.

This is the back side of the church and school, on the east.

Larry made the frame over the south door; it will match the design on the finished part of the church.
