Day 3
Today we continued scraping and priming the house, getting it ready for painting. We have been making steady progress. There is nothing like painting in 98 degree weather with a heat index of 110!
The Floyd's provided lunch for us on the job site. We had red beans and rice, cajun chicken, and smoked sausage. As usual, Blake enjoyed his meal!

I've got no time for talkin'
I've got no time for walkin'
New Orleans is my home
That's the reason I'm gone
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans!

After work, we toured the Lower 9th Ward. It was remarkable how much work and rehab has gone on in the past 5+ years. This is a picture of where the levee broke during Katrina.

STORY TIME WITH BOB
For Dinner we drove to the North Shore of Lake Ponchartrain for dinner. My grandmother was able to join us as we ate at Friend's on the Tchefuncta River.
