We are just finishing up breakfast......scrambled eggs, sausage, grits, and biscuits. In a few minutes, we will head out to our new jobsite. We will be helping to restore a park that has not been touched since the hurricane. Removing debris, weeding, planting, installing a fence, etc. We will miss working with Tommy (the site coordinator for our last job) but are looking forward to experiencing a new site.
Our living quarters are what we expected. Dormatory style....one large room with 3-story bunk beds, a common shower area, and a dining hall downstairs. The Popeye's biscuits at breakfast are the kids favorite. We have had the luxery of meeting some very nice people who have been treating us to lots of New Orleans special dishes. Needless to say, we are eating well.
Last, night we went to a small jazz concert in a nearby park, Laila trimmed Melissa's hair, and we played Pictionary until bedtime. The kids are pretty tired each night so are usually in bed by 9:30. They have been so much fun.......Nicki and I are lucky to have such a great group.
All for now. We will post a blog from our "leaders of the day" later on.
