The past couple of days have been awesome……starting Saturday when we moved into the Dulac Community Center and returned to work at Mrs. Barbara’s house. She has been very nice and hospitable to us the whole time we have been there (she also has a slightly obese dog whose bark is bigger than its bite). At her house we have repaired the plumbing and put in a new toilet as well as adding trim and molding to the kitchen, living room, and hallway. She has been very appreciative of all of our work and is always quick to offer us local cuisine (such as homeade pork grinds and dried shrimp). On Sunday we took a 2 hour drive down to Grand Isle to help BTNEP (Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program) remove invasive plant species in the nature preserve. It was interesting to find out how important the nature preserve is to the migratory birds as well as its role in protecting inland areas from hurricanes. After a days work in the HOT sun we cooled off with a dip in the Gulf of Mexico…..it was freezing!!! Sadly, today was our last day at Mrs. Barbara’s house…..I am gonna miss working there and hearing her incredible stories.
