Fred and I had to cut 2x4's to attach to the ceiling in order to have something to attach our sheetrock to. We aren't really sure why it wasn't done to begin with but we decided to do it right. Fred said if he would do it for his own house, he would do it for this one. I thought that was a great idea!
After work, Lesa and I headed to Mississippi to explore the area where we served as Red Cross volunteers (and how we met) in 2005. We drove Highway 90 all the way down the coast past Biloxi and it was amazing! There are still a few hints but it's hard to tell a hurricane wiped that area off the map a few short years ago. We were able to find the areas where Lesa delivered meals in the ERV and we went by where we lived and the places we remembered. It was very encouraging. I knew MS would have an easier time of clean-up and repair than New Orleans but I never expected it to look as good as it did.
This is the brand new bridge along highway 90 going east from Ocean Springs. This bridge looked like chunks of concrete just thrown into the water!
Our cute little room at the Bethlehem Volunteer Center - a Lutheran Disaster Response site. They have mobile bedroom units that they use for overflow and we were lucky enough to be given one of those rooms instead of the giant room with hundreds of bunk beds. :) It felt like a little cabin and we loved our little home. Katie Huener is the camp director and she's fabulous! If you ever want to go work in New Orleans and have fabulous accomodations and wonderful food - call LDR. They will set you up!!
