Habitat

Amazing, right after my “I might quit” rant, I have something that I do want to immediately share.  I went to the lower 9th ward yesterday to help build houses for Habitat for Humanity‘s musicians village. I went there with my Newcomb Nursery School teacher, Pat Boothby.  It was really rewarding for me.  I know that it really helps my city just by living here, but this was truly giving back to the city. I even learned a lot about homebuilding – mainly in installing and finishing doors.  It also felt good to use saws and nail guns, which I haven’t used since we lost the Mississippi house.  It would be a lot of fun to go back again with my brothers, friends, or coworkers.  So, if you want to go with me, I’ll probably say yes.

    Excellent! I, too, did some HH work out in C.Springs back in the day. No saws for me, though :(
