(and pass Olmer's cottage along the way- our play house) 
The building of Grandma's new house has started and is flying along. It has been fun to watch it and even more fun to take periodic drives over with Grandpa so he can see what is going on as well. This last weekend my uncle Dean was up here with his handicap accessible van so this time we didn't just drive over, we also wheeled Gramps out and gave him an up close view of it all.
Most of the framing is finished and we are now waiting for the roof trusses to arrive. Marty Walker has done all the cement work for the house and it is BEAUTIFUL. We Shermer's all thought we had a very nice new house and now are a bit jealous of Grandma. (though we are thankful for what the good Lord has provided for us- read with truth as well as a little sarcasim) Marty made a beautiful patio that wraps around the front of the house- it is a redish brown color with a black brick stamping around the edge leading up to patio where the screen porch will be. It is amazing and looks great.
Marty had also added a very special suprise for Grandma and Grandpa. He had asked my mom and dad if Grandpa had a favorite verse. He took one of Gramps' and stamped it into the patio. It is so precious and such a gift to know that it will always be there. We know Grandpa will be such a big part of this house as well- now it is just really concrete.
THANK YOU MARTY. We will cherish it always and are so grateful for all you have done. 
So many others have come to help. I know that I will not remember you all and if I forgot you, please know that someone else in my family remembers and we are ALL so thankful to each of you. The ways in which you have touched us goes much deeper than the dirt and cement work. We love and pray for each of you. Thanks Olin, Jessie, John, Dan, Kyler, Roger and... Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
