A major project we wanted to do this summer was to build a small roadside stand. We live on a fairly busy road with a lot of tourism traffic heading toward a popular state park so we thought it may be a good place to sell some produce, crafts, fresh cut flower bouquets and other things.          Here we are deciding on the design and just actually where the stand should sit.                                    Ah, finally!

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee."   Psalm 33
