Jess' reflection (a poem) from Spike Project #1...very clever..
"I left my heart in Ocean Springs"
Introducing Water four-
For America, we do more.
We have 5 Js, 3 As, K, P, and a B,
And spent our first round in Mississippi.
Refurbishing homes for those that needed it the most,
we worked hard at our job, we did not brag or boast.
Day in and day out, Water four worked hard together,
Even in the stormy Mississippi Gulf coast weather.*
Our flea furry friend, Duke, welcomed us each day
while we sang and worked, he would always stay and lay.
We would not have gotten far without the help of Ed, Johnny, and Randy.
“TL for the Day”- it’s not always you, Andy! :)
Mudding, sanding, and flooring-
As long as we were together, it never got boring.
Our official motto became “We love caulk-ing,”
Almost as much as we like talking!
Painting, nailing, sawing -
We did it all.
In our hot, sweaty uniforms,
W4 always stood tall.
Sickness and bed bugs could not bring us down,
Even with pink eye we were the hottest in town!
Ocean Springs treated us well and we wish Camp Victor the best.
In our first round, Water 4 passed every test!

The poem was very touching. I hope the next spike will keep you all together in your hearts. It sounds like you are a fantastic group of people with many talents and lots of heart.
