More News from Slidell

We made it through our first week. The tropical storm missed us except for a little rain but that just made it more muggy today. We checked out Plaquemines Parish where we did a Needs Assessment in January. We rode there on Sat. and found that not a whole lot has changed since we had been there. Today we went to church at the Presbyterian church where our trailers are parked and then rested the rest of the day.
Tomorrow morning will bring work again as we go to work on the three houses that are in progress. We are here with six couples and two men who came without their wives. We all hail from different places in Canada, Calif. and Mich.
We'll write more again as we work to let you know what we are doing. It's time to play cards now before bed. I lost big time last night so maybe I can redeem myself tonight.
Good night all-- Doug & Mary
