Lately our weekends have been more filled than normal with the recent RBC Build.  It's coming together beautifully.  Yesterday the ginormous food tent was set up along with the delivery of the kitchen trailer for the big 3 weekends coming up for the actual building of the structure.  Our purchasing trailer is right smack in the middle of it all and it's amazing that you can look out one minute and then the next suddenly everything is different.

 At first I have to admit I was a bit disappointed that we aren't actually doing the physical labor.  Our family has always been eager to help out and learn anything and it's been a joy getting to experience the cleaning crews, the electrical, the lightening, the hvac, and other departments first hand over the years.  Now though being behind the scenes yet in the middle of the chaos I have gained a whole new perspective.  The amount of time and money the brothers spend working on these projects voluntarily is amazing.  The society is keeping up with new information constantly to keep things going smoothly and the cooperation of the brothers adjusting to these new requirements  has been phenomenal.

Today we are taking a bit of time off though to head up to New Mexico to see our favorite Irish Step Dancing show, "Lord of the Dance".  It's something I would be willing to see over and over again.  Something about literally feeling the tapping of their feet through the floor that sends my heart soaring every time!  I can't wait to see how our friends from here enjoy it.  It is amazing how much Irish influence there is here in El Paso.  In subtle ways, such as the rock walls that are everywhere.  But according to our brothers and sisters during the boom of everyone exploring the West many Irish helping to build the railroads headed out this way.  There are still a few descendants here but the influence has been ongoing.  Just love it!  Not sure where else in the world you can have dry, sunny, breezy, clear skies, with palm trees and rosemary growing side by side.  Rock walls, and Rod-Iron gates, adobe homes, and alpine lodges all within a block from each other.

Well I best get going we have a big day ahead.  Love to all!
