October 27th

Another very hot and humid day! At least, we are supposed to get some weather relief for the rest of the week. We did more painting, more moving of sand, some caulking, and began putting some of the final touches on the framing. We also got to know some of the people from St.Louis better. This evening we had dinner at the church again. It was the 5th anniversary for RHINO, and they had special homemade cakes for dessert -- and live entertainment. It was a duo with one guy on piano and one on the clarinet, and they were really good! They played authentic New Orleans jazz. For dinner we had fried chicken (not that KCF variety), red beans and rice, salad, fruit, and did I mention wonderful desserts? Now we're back at the hotel, and had our devotions while the laundry was in, and we're all pretty sleepy. Oh, one more thing - Louise J. found out today that one of her parishoners passed away, so she will be doing a funeral on Monday, after arriving home very late on Sunday.
