This is the February group ready to head off to work. We enjoyed each one and will miss the three couples who left this weekend. It was great meeting old friends and also making new ones.
Tuesday after work we had a two hour river and marsh tour. Although it was a bit early in the season we did see some small alligators and numerous birds to add to our birding list.
Our guide grew up in the area and was well informed about life in the bayou. He took us along the Pascagoula River and several bayous which were all linked. We were all confused where we were but he knew his way about pointing out alligator dens, bird nests, trees and plants.
Wednesday evening we had a farewell supper honouring the couples who were leaving the group. We had camp-iron pies (bush pies), hotdogs, salads and banana boats. The evening was mild and much more pleasant than our welcome wiener roast at the beginning of the month.
Work has been progressing well at Shun and Shiela's home. Verna, Irene and Annette painting the high walls of the Kitchen/Family room.
Don and Charlotte have been on their knees alot doing all the ceramic tile in this home. Ceramic tile make a durable floor covering for this humid climate and sandy environment.
Doreen and Al put up fans and light fixtures on the high ceiling.
Shun and Sheila have been living with her mother for the last five plus years and are looking forward to having their own place again. He had been renovating their home when Hurricane Katrina hit. Sheila suffers from a work related back injury and is not able to work.
