Need a Lift?

Rona, Kylie, and Diane took a road trip down to Columbia, SC, to pick up a used pool lift listed on the South Carolina Assistive Technology Exchange website. The lift is similar to the one in the bottom photo. Many thanks to Laura Touchberry--the lift will enable some of our older children to safely access the pool!

A friend indeed!

A new volunteer has come to the rescue! Just when Diane thought she couldn't possibly mow another blade of grass or chop another dozen trees into firewood, relief has arrived! Desiree is donating her time at Bridgewater to help get things ready as soon as possible for the children, and especially for her friend Kylie. Desiree is a fireball of energy with a whole portfolio of skills including landscaping, painting, electrical, and plumbing! Thanks, Desiree (and Kylie!)

Our first Harley!

Adele and George of Monroe, NC, hate to part with this beauty, but they are glad to see her go to a good home. With a whisper quiet battery powered ride and a top speed of nearly 15 mph, guests can now tour the Bridgewater grounds in style. Thanks Adele and George! And good luck with your coastal Carolina adventure!

Muddy Mess!

OK, so the top picture is not really from Bridgewater and it is a bit of an exaggeration! However, rainy weather over the past week has certainly put a damper on pool progress. We need several dry days before we can proceed with the concrete and stone work. :(
