Melisa In New Orleans

I'm Melisa and the purpose of this blog was to share my week in Kenner, Louisiana with you (April 6-12, 2008). A team from our church - Live Oak Vineyard - was working with other volunteers from around the country to help with the relief efforts around New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina.

Update for Thursday…

Just a small note to let you all know that I finished my floors today. I successfully finished the tile in one room and grouted two rooms. I can hardly believe it myself. Didnt know I had it in me. :) It was quite fun. I finished everything by about 2pm and then had to wipe down all of the floors to get the film off of them. Tomorrow I get to finish up the process while Floyd finishes putting up baseboards & closet shelves, Mary sands and Laurie caulks. The best part is that the house is just about ready for Angeline to move in! Just a little more paint and some inspections and I THINK she’ll be in… or at least she’ll be VERY close to it! But I’m no expert. Thats just what I think I’ve heard.

I will post pictures of the inside of her house tomorrow so you can see all that we’ve done. I will also post more photobucket links so you can see a variety of photos from our trip thus far.

Tomorrow should be a good day. We will get our home-cooked fish lunch from Martha then we will get out a little early from work and head downtown for dinner and some sight-seeing.. and dont forget CAFE DU MONDE with its Coffee & Beignets! MMM! I’ve been waiting for those all week!!!!!!!!!!

I’ll be sure to send pictures.. although it wont do them much justice! :)
