Good evening!
Today was a very long day and it isn't quite over yet!
This morning our group was split up; half of us went to Trey's house and the other half went to Habitat for Humanity's big warehouse. The people at Trey's house were painting baseboards and touching up siding as well as finishing the caulking and started hanging a latice around the bottom of the house. At the warehouse we did a whole lot of moving stuff. We moved everything that wasn't organized into piles and that was a lot of stuff. On the outside of the warehouse there were big piles of wood mixed with hoses and garbage that we had to sort out into organized piles. Then we went inside and moved all the stuff away from the walls and put up shelving and moved all the stuff (quite heavy by the way!) onto the shelves. We also cleaned up everything and put it in order so you could find anything you wanted.
For lunch we went to a park in Pass Christian where Billy Morgan served us lunch. So we had a chance to try traditional Cajun mudbugs! Can you possibly guess what those are? No???????? Well, we shall tell you! They're crawfish, all intact and rather spicy! (although Billy called them mild!) After lunch he told us sad and hearfelt stories about Hurricane Katrina. After the stories we parted ways and went back to work for the rest of the afternoon.
This evening we went to Gulfport to an outlet mall to shop. It was lots of fun and everybody bought something except for Jim who is trying to keep his 'no buying things' record.
Thanks muchly for your support!
Katie, Bronwyn, and Judith
