Perfect weather--we don't sweat today so we want to continue working...our Americorp advisors tell us we have to leave because they have to leave!

The house begins to look more and more like a home as we put up more and more wallboard. It goes faster as we become more proficient. We talk and laugh a lot.

Tonight we went to an open house at a just-finished St. Bernard Project home. It gleams--tile floors, clean walls and beaming owners. We see the trailer they have lived in since Katrina. A lot of contrast. And yet next door there is a house still being worked on by the owner herself.

We go to a local Cajun restaurant for supper--real Louisiana seafood. A man stops to thank us for coming to help.

It is a good day.
