Tuesday

After waking up early this morning to make breakfast, we all pieled back into the cars to go to the respective projects. A group of about 14 went back to the Ebard’s home. The rest went to a gardening site to plant more food for the communities in Louisiana. Linda welcomed us back with more hugs and this time she snuck in a kiss on my cheek. She is such a happy woman, ecstatic to have so many people helping her rebuild her home. She has on a number of occasions offered several of us a place to stay if we ever are in town and has even asked me to move in while I finish school. 


Linda keeps the groups energy up with coffee and snacks. You can usually find her in the kitchen, dancing and singing to any song on the radio. She is a great dancer and if you walk past her while she is dancing, she usually grabs you and convinces you to do a couple of moves with her.

Today we finished the bamboo floors in both the living room and the kitchen. We framed all of the windows and laid down the baseboard in the living room and kitchen.  The kitchen cabinets were put into place and the kitchen sink went back in. We purchased the countertops and painted the first floor of the house.  The floors in the master bedroom (which for some reason is bigger then the living room and kitchen together, and is about 1 ½ times the size of my apt) 

I wonder what we will accomplish tomorrow.
