We weren't able to start on our projects until church services were over, so we had a casual morning. Three vans went out on the self-guided tour which had been created by a UU minister from the area.
It is interesting to see how many new homes have been built, and amazing to see how many homes are still blighted. There are still many homes with the search team "Xs" or those with vegetation growing out of the windows and roofs.
A few members of the team went to the church service and came out energized.
As soon as coffee hour was cleared out, we all went into action. Clearing/organizing tool rooms and storage areas, hanging doors, laying tiles, grouting other tiles, laying a wood floor, scraping, hammering, scrubbing, cleaning, raking, cutting brush...and many other chores that I didn't see being done.
It is wonderful to be able to help those who have been working so hard for all these years to try to get their lives back together.
Tonight was Orientation and a dinner of red beans and rice.
Once again, I sit at this keyboard and can't believe how discombobulated my thoughts are. So much activity and conversation and thoughts of tomorrow's tasks...
We will be working hard to try to get as many projects done as we can.
