Each week one of the couples here sign up to choose the church the group will be attending and the restaurant for lunch. The Presbyterian Church and a local Mexican restaurant Los Comales was the choice.
Here I had a Chicken Fajita Taco Salad and it was bigger than I had planned therefore it gave me Monday's supper meal too.
Sunday afternoon Jim and I took a road trip to Lake Corpus Christie State Park, a place where we plan to spend a few days camping in the future.
Monday we continued hanging the rest of the drywall and others worked at the taping and mudding.
The rest of the week we (the four Manitobans) got sent to do a variety of repair jobs. First we went to a job that needed minor repair to split joints at a few corners. Here we caulked and then painted. And Jim cut down two doors to fit properly.
Notice the contrast between the neighboring house with boarded up windows.

After that we went to the Long Term Recovery team's warehouse to clean up, organize and to prime shelving boards. There was limited work there so Wayne our director took Jim along to accompany him to check out future jobs which the case worker had lined up. It was an eye opener experience of what our director lands up doing in preparation for having work lined up for us to do.
Then Wednesday and Thursday we were to remove the skirting from a mobile home in the Rockport area. Wayne makes contact with the homeowner while we set up our equipment.
After the removal we were to place the boards closer to make a nicer look and keep the critters out. We did not finish because we ran out of materials.

The rest of the team finished the mudding, sanding and the texturing on Thursday. It should be ready to prime on Monday.
Friday we took a drive to Port Aransas on Mustang Island, after our grocery run and breakfast outing at the Bakery Cafe.
