It was a busy Thursday

Ok, so it is friday and I am blogging about thursday. Needless to say, it was a busy day and I think many people will agree when I say we were very tired. But let me back up...
Work continued at the three sites. Finally, the roof work to be done at this stage of the project was finished at one worksite. All three sites plugged along, striving to get as much done as possible since the week was drawing to a close.
At the Najolia site, our construction assistant, Kate, took us to a local place for crawfish and po-boys. They were delicious and our home owner showed us how to pull their heads off, suck the juice out of the heads and pull the meat out of the tails. It sounds gross, but it was SO GOOD! On our way back to the work site, we finished our lunch with a snowball. This is not to be mistaken for a snow cone. Snowballs have thinner shaved ice and a ice cream in the middle, then have the syrup flavor of your choice poured over it. They were the perfect end to a delicious local meal.
The highlight of thursday night was dinner at Olive Tree. Two of the three home owners of our group came to the dinner and presented a bit of their story to the entire group. The Third Pres group went and picked up their home owner from where she currently resides while waiting for her house to be finished. This was only her second time attending the thursday night Olive Tree dinner. It was moving to here about the experiences of several home owners and how appreciative they are of our ppresent, care and support.
After dinner a van-load went out to hear some jazz music suggested by Andy's cousin, who lives down here.
Stay tuned for our final day here in New Orleans! Brandi
