It’s hard to believe that it is Friday and our work in New Orleans is completed. We all have special memories of this week, but I think most people would say that hearing the stories of our homeowners were among the most special. Yesterday we finished Joyce’s home and she treated us to a wonderful lunch of red beans & rice and CATFISH!!! She was so happy and we were grateful for her willingness to share her story. She will remain in our hearts as we remember her warmth and hospitality
.
Four of us also worked on another home and completed the finishing touches on Doris’ home. We were impressed with Doris’ home that is a lively yellow, trimmed in barn red and white.
Today we completed our work at Bobbie’s house. We did power washing and scraped and scraped. Next week’s group will tackle the rest of her home.
Each of these homeowner’s were so gracious to us and their resiliance in the face of their struggles was a inspiration to everyone. And, as with most volunteer projects, we received so much more than gave. Thanks for viewing our blog this week and your support through prayers! Kathi
