Greetings All,
Arriving early on Saturday, I didn't realize my work week started early on Saturday, not on Monday! I have logged 15 hours in the office working on various projects and transporting folks around to work sites and it is only Sunday night. Ed has the flu and is trying to make himself scarce in the office, so it looks like a busy week from this standpoint. We are all safe and sound...our crew is working a house on Race Track Rd. in southern D'Iberville doing drywalling.
God be with you all and keep D'Iberville in your prayers,
Roger
Hello from D'Iberville which is still COLD at night. Had a good and busy day. Got up and went to the Episcopal (sp?) church where Barb's cousin's husband is a pastor. Good service. Then back to the camp to meet with "Uncle" Bob and his friend Mike to go do drywall. It's a new house on stilts and was ready for our unexperienced work. Bob and Mike split us into 2 groups--Bob worked with one group to drywall the ceiling in the living and dining area while Barb, Eric and I did a closet. Bob and Mike are from St Louis and both do Habitat work, so they are very experienced. They were kind and patient and we did get a lot done. Didn't get home until almost 6pm, so no dinner before the orientation meeting, but we had had a very late lunch, so we were okay. Tomorrow most of the group is going back to work with Bob and Mike, but I have been pulled to help with transportation and facilitate things at the camp. Having our usual good time and meeting interesting people.
