Barn raising in Washington

Not too long ago I was thinking about how the world has changed. I remember hearing about communities that would come together to help people get started. You know, when everyone would come to build a neighbors barn so that they could get on their feet. That is a nice thing, to have people you can rely on around you.

After a little more thought I realized that we still do that. The only difference is that I don't know too many people with barns. We had a lot of help raising our 'barn' this last few months, packing, moving, cleaning, babysitting, and even unpacking. And we have helped some others with their 'barns'. It was a nice sight to show up to help and there are already people finishing the mudding, priming, painting, and cleaning.

I think we will try to help more 'barns' get built, that is the world I would like to be a part of. I may even learn out how mud a room.
