New Orleans Serve Project

Just a quick note to say that I am leaving for New Orleans on Tues, the 18th around 5pm with the Seniors from our church. We have a Senior Serve project every year over Easter and since Mike and I are youth leaders this year - I am going along. Mike is staying home and managing the fort here. We are actually going to Boothville, LA which some have called the end of the road since we are about as far south as you can get. We will be working on finishing a home-painting(YEAH), siding, trim, tiling, etc. I am looking forward to the work not so much the 18 hour car ride but it will be OK. Good chance to get to know the kids more and caught up on some sleep (maybe). I will be back on the 25th hopefully with some neat pics of way down south. This project is still helping out with all those that were affected with Hurricane Katrina. We plan on going into New Orleans one day and checking out some of the sites there as well. Happy Easter to you all and I'll check in with you all when I get back. Love ya all!!!

Sounds like you will have a busy, but rewarding week ahead of you. May you have a lot of fun and a safe trip. Bet you out paint all the other volunteers!

Good for you. You will have so much fun and feel good doing it. They will have to line up more than one house for painting with you there, that's for sure.
Good luck to Mike.

Hmm, let me know how that catching up on sleep thing goes! :) Sounds like a blast!

We beg for tons of pictures when you get back.
