Well, we didn't get to dinner with Carol last night. She called about 4 and said that she was stuck in Gulfport because of the severe weather. We will go to dinner at her house tonight instead. We called Ruth and went over to her house to deliver the spoon. She loved the spoon and she showed us around her Habitat home - it was lovely - 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. She used to own a bakery in town, but decided not to rebuild after Katrina came through. She still makes wedding cakes out of her home though and in fact was working on one for Saturday. We came back and ate here and then just sat around chatting after dinner as it was pouring outside. There was a break in the rain at 9:30 so we ran back to our little home away from home before it started up again. We woke up to clear skies this morning - chilly in the morning, but warming up in the afternoon. We made all of the window frames and the kids from Adelphi pre-painted them. We then continued to hang doors. We got them all in except for the ones in the closet. We also framed up the access hole to the attic. Came back and fastened the whale to the plaque - Dave hung it - we will take a photo before we leave and post it on the web. We are now all showered and will head out for dinner soon.
