This is Rudy teaching how to hand sharpen a chain-saw. Rudy teaches an Adult Education Class on 'Small Engine Repair,' and is where new life experiences started for Dave...
Last Fall Dave chose to take the 'Small Engine Repair' class because it is a skill-set he has NEVER experienced(!) and it would give him the chance to tune-up our own lawn mower. Rudy's class is all hands-on, 'no need for a notebook - just bring in piece of lawn equipment...'
In a note to the Administration, Dave stated that Rudy's class taught:
- Small engine repair.
- Practical, philosophy of life.
- Community relations.
- Confidence building.
Dave is quick to remark about Rudy's sayings and applies them almost as quickly as he does Paul Tillich :-} Actually, this was such a great experience that Dave will take this class again in the Winter / Spring Session.

More equipment winterized!
With the confidence building learned in Rudy's class, Dave takes on other home projects. Here he and DJ tackle replacing the garbage disposal.

In the midst of it all... Barb pulls the screens from the windows and washes the windows before winter.

How much snow do you guys get each year? We've had three snowfalls here, probably a total of 8 inches. It's snowing now! We're dreaming of a white Christmas...it would be our first!
Oh, it depends each year. There is usually this huge snow day where schools will be close and people won't know what to do and how to drive. You'd expect there to be a lot of snow, right? Um, try about an inch. lol. School is closed for an inch of snow. That's about it for our whole year - one snow day. But we make the most of it!
Enjoy your white Christmas, P family!
