Today one group (Joe, Barb, Randy and Linda) worked hard to finish painting Doris’ shed and carport in a tri-colored combo. The place looks complete and the crew seems satisfied with their work.
Joyce’s house is coming along nicely as well. The June Berry color gives renewed hope and life to the older home. The shed has been completed and the house now has two coats of paint on it. Tomorrow brings trim work and touch up. It is very rewarding to get to know Joyce better and hear her stories. She is providing lunch for the work crew on Thursday and promises red beans and rice with a surprise!
Wednesday afternoon took the group around the levy breaks and into the lower 9th ward on a tour. It was amazing to see how many homes had been built in the lower 9th ward in the past year thanks to Brad Pitt and the ‘Make it Right 9′ Foundation which works to get people back into their communities. Tonight we returned to dinner in the French Quarter at the Palm Court. It was a good meal, great music, and a good time was had by all!!!
