A House of Hope

David, 24, who's been learning computers with us, works with his dad Julio, goes to school, and goes to typing class. In his spare time, he is building a house for his wife and son. This is the whole house. He was building the stove when we stopped by today.

I remember the rickety pioneer cabins on the prairies, and wonder how strong they were when they carved out their lives, decades before we came along as grandchildren.
