Missing Something . . .

Winter and fall at the Farm provide wonderful opportunities to grow as a staff during our weeks without volunteers, but we often feel like something is missing. Maybe it's the early morning dance parties in the picture hallway, the large games of infinity ball, or introducing the Nazwich for the first time. Whatever it is, it has to do with you. That got me thinking of some of the great Reviews of the Day from this past summer. Luckily a few groups left theirs in my capable hands so I could share them with everyone.
Enjoy and reminisce about the fun and warmth of summer!

(to the tune of Do-Re-Mi)
Doe a deer, a concrete deer
Rays of penetrating sun

Meat , of meat, I love you meat!
haven't seen you in so long

Joe, the master of the house
Peg, his treasure of a wife

Gail, the keeper of the mouse
This is our Naz farm life

Made a dent, a fender dent
Made a scratch in Linda's side

Linda's dent will surely fade
Not the dent in Timmy's pride!

Where are all the warning signs?
Where are all the traffic lights?
Ride the double yellow lines

This is our Naz Farm life

Covered up a bumpy deck
Boards, we pounded, pushed, and shoved

Said nice things about our team
Held a hammer full of love

Free to wear our smelly clothes
Free of vanity and strife
Spray my armpits with a hose

This is our Naz Farm Life!
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do So Do!


(to the tune of Friday)
It's Friday, Friday, working in the rain on Friday
gotta build a deck and ramp for Jane and Shon
roofing, roofing, roofing in the rain on Friday
gotta cut and screw the tin roof on
Susan, Susan got her to use a sawzall
(only an hour after digging in the concrete)

Finished, finished the job on Friday
rain, mud, and dirt can't stop the Soul Sisters (+2)

Dirty and muddy and yeah!
soaking and smelly and yeah!
fun, fun, fun, fun, we love working at Naz Farm!

Now break it down! (think of this next part as a rap)

It's Naz Farm, think you be snoozin'? Ain't no way, just ask Susan!
And to a job don't dare be late or you'll suffer the wrath of Kate.
If you think a job is just to tricky, just ask help from our friend Niki.
Reading at school with the kids and all led by the super sojo Paul.
Now Kristina there is another story, just open your eyes to her faith, love, and glory.
Now who was our favorite today? It's Matt, or was that ninja Pat? Or maybe Nat?
How many jobs did you do today Allyson asks and shouts Hooray!
So whether you call him Robby or just plain Rob, you know he's the many for any job.
And who's always there with a good ol' hey'ya, we certainly know it's none other than Kayla.
So when those shingles did need tacked, leading Soul Sisters (+2) was birthday boy Zack!
And now onto you newest bud, super frisbee throwing Judd.
And last but not least is Farmer John, master of the garden and leader of song.
And that's the rap of the Naz Farm Staff, 'cause they gave it all, not just half!
