The work progresses

Hello blog readers. We had a very busy day, again. When don't we when we are here? We are determined to get as much done as humanly possible.

It rained overnight and a little bit during the morning. Otherwise, it was quite cloudy and a lot cooler. Much better for working. We finished the last little bit of wall boards first thing and then everyone became a mudder for the day! We taped all the seams and spread mud in every nook and cranny. We broke for lunch and then went in for the 2nd coat. The house is really coming together.

At the end of the afternoon, there were many of us in the yard cleaning up debris. What a difference it made to the appearance of the house!

Antonio, Christopher and Shawntae came to work with us after school. They really gravitate to the men in our crew and the men have been taking them under their wings and showing them how to do very productive work. I am so impressed.

The ice cream truck arrived later than promised. He does a great business with the group!

There were a couple of local contractors putting the last 2 windows late in the day. Now the house can be secure. Onward and upward! Terry and George made a late run to Lowe's to buy cabinets and countertop. Janice will be so thrilled!

Molly got to visit with Ifama today (NOLA 4). She said that Ifama looks better. She gave Molly some sunflower sprouts for our salad tonight. A little love and sunshine with our meal tonight!

Today was Nancy's birthday and we had cake and ice cream after dinner. Big fun!

We are still anxious and raring to go, but we might not be as spry as we were on Monday.

Please keep our aching muscles and sort feet in your prayers!
