DAY 3

I am going to see if I can figure out how to post some pictures tonight.  I knew how to last year but I forgot.

Today I washed dishes - lots and lots of pans and pots and serving utensils.  I worked on that for over 2 hours.  Then we toured the projects that are being worked on.  We got lost in the 9th ward.  There is so much left to do.  I knew there was a great need and have told everyone that but it is worse than I even thought.  So sad.

Anyhow - I don't have much to say tonight so I will try to do the picture posting thing instead.

love and miss you all.
