Celebrating Ailsa!

Tremendous celebration today of Ailsa and her years of inspirational teaching.  So many extraordinary expressions of admiration and love!  Arthur, Langley, and Russell Steinert, along with Tim Purinton, helped kick off the public announcement of "Hank and Ailsa's House" project.  Below are photos of post-festivities work at the hewing site:

Beatrice and Odette show their skills with a drawknife.

Dueling broadaxes for Brigham and Tim...

 ... Until they can admire their handiwork.

What a fun day!
