Bugs. The warmer the weather, the more the bugs. The less wind, the more bugs. Praising God today for Skin-So-Soft Bug Spray!
Day three went by really, really fast. We FINALLY got to work on time (8am) and the boss wasn't even there to witness it. Geesh. The crew at Captain John's house went back to putting in sheet rock and insulation and the crew at the Yellow House went back to paint scraping. The morning flew by and soon Mr. Time Keeper (aka Lee) was calling demanding lunch.
Lunch today was at Turtle Landing, the hot spot in Pearlington. We sat outside in the breezy air and enjoyed Shrimp Po'boys, Hamburgers, Freedom Fries (their words) and Onion Rings. Some of us enjoyed Sweet Tea as well (I, Brittany, have found a new addiction). Debbie was curious about the Fried Corn Nuggets which turned out to be fried dough with creamed corn in the middle. Hmmm....Debbie thought it was pleasantly, uniquely disgusting (because of all the fat)and Steven liked them.
Work continued at the same sites after lunch. Brittany & Meggie had an adventure driving through the swamp to find "Tire Town" in order to get a tire repaired that had a nail or something in it. The roadkill count stands at 1 coyote (or something similar), 1 snake, a couple of squirrels and various other things that were unrecognizable. There was one alive turtle too!
It looks like the sheet rock should be done at Captain John's tomorrow. Not sure what the next project will be over there. The Yellow House hopefully will have it's final power wash tomorrow and then it's time for primer! YES!
Tomorrow morning we'll be up a little earlier for a Waffle House stop...it's just not a trip to the south without a trip to Waffle House...or so Douglas keeps trying to convince us. Pictures tomorrow!

I had oh 5 or so of your kids + their friends from Modesto. I am thinking this combo thing might really have some merit. I got your text after group :) They were all very good though!
Hi guys! Wish we were there with you! So glad Douglas got his Waffle House fix---makes you question his real motivation? :) Hope Debbie is okay--maybe extra Aleve for her tonight Steven? Douglas hope you're not too tired to get your course work e-mailed in....know it's tough. It makes me sad not to be there when I read all the stories and see pictures--how is the inside of the yellow house? ---with you in spirit though. Getting lots done on the Pearlington West Project aka The Waltons :) Keeping you in my prayers! Lynn
