We were greeted as usual by Lena's smile. Since we seemed to have some sun peeking through after last night's storm, Mike immediately started in the second railing on the front steps. STEPS FINISHED by noon! Ina Marie and Pat, master finishers, completed upper and lower kitchen cabinets, and with that we are ready for the doors in the morning. Marv and Bruce installed trim on all the cabinets. All these details are making it really look great.
Midday and all of us were thinking about food, when along came the younger kids of the group with ICE CREAM!! What a great, timely surprise.
After lunch, Ina and Pat decided to take the afternoon off. Marvin, Mike and Bruce did some carpentry work, finishing the bedroom floor trim and other details.
About 3 PM Marvin came over to get Ina and Pat because Lena's daughter Carmen and Husband Bruce had come from Mississippi to meet us. They were delightful with great stories of Mardi Gras in Houma, tug boating (Bruce is a Captain) and family. We shared family photos and stories, took lots if pictures and left with Ina Marie abd Pat laden with strings and strings of Mardi Gras beads.
Tomorrow we will be treated to Lena's cooking. No breakfast needed with the fabulous menu she has planned: Ris'e feve (rice & peas), shrimp gumbo, red beans and rice, crab cakes, home made bread and chocolate cake. Can we take her home?
