Livin' and a Kickin'
We were doing our evening debrief when Gary's grandson was telling about one of the elderly ladies he met today when delivering meals for the "Carter Burden Center". She was in her 90s and had was spry enough to invite them (Gary and the kids) into her apartment for a chat. He described her as "living and a kickin'!"
Aghhhhh!!!!
Each group went to one (or more) of the sites we have been helping. One of these was the "Foodbank Kitchen" in Harlem. Most of my groups adults went there this morning to assist with the "deep cleaning" that needed to be done in the kitchen. This meant that we had to scrub the walls, scrub the oven (which is a massive industrial sized monster), wipe down tables and generally go over "everything"! John, Pam, Chris, John and I worked first on the walls. The rest of crew started on that monster oven. While working on the oven, Julie said she was using a metal scrub pad to wash up a metal counter near some wiring. The chief came over to check on her and she told him what happened. She told him and he touched the shelf..... nothing happened. So she started cleaning again. Guess what........... she was shocked AGAIN. This time, the shock really buzzed her arms and hands. She decided to stop cleaning that shelf and moved on to another job.
