Ooooo, doesn't THAT look nice??!!?! ummm....
Anyway... So now that I have some unexpected time, here's what's been going on:
Sunday: church twice; going to the beach in between the services; Emily came!!!!!!!; had lunch; went to the beach at Biloxi; swam for 3 hours; searched for cheap jet skis to rent (no luck--maybe in Pensacola next weekend?); laughed way too much to be allowed; found a horseshoe crab, a pelican skull, and a squashed turtle on the beach; grabbed a quick dinner at Taco Bell; came back for orientation; showered; played cards; and finally went to bed. It was cold that night (oh, probably about 60 but it felt cold) and so we shouldn't have left the AC on in the tent. But we did, and it was SLIGHTLY reminiscent of my trip here in January.
Monday: caulked a porch in the morning, learned how to drive quickly around D'Iberville in search of some people and trying to out-race others (haha ;) ), and then Emily and I went over to a different site to hang drywall in the afternoon (Cassandra went roofing), all 3 of us went to Sonic for a snack, then came back to camp for the evening.
Tuesday: spent the day on the roof ripping off old shingles, laying tar paper, and finally nailing new shingles. I'd never done this before (actually, I hadn't ever been on a roof before!) and learned a lot. It was fun and I didn't even mind the heat, but I did get kinda sunburned even though I put on SPF 30 literally every hour.
Wednesday: spent this morning painting the deputy's house, took Cassandra to the airport in the afternoon, helped Diane with dinner, and then headed out to help install a microwave with Jody and Leroy. Cool guys who know tons about how to do everything.
Okay, the storm warning is pretty much over (until the next round comes in from TX/LA) so I'm going to bed. I have tons of pictures to post sometime. Stay tuned for those! :)

I have to say I'm jealous! I love it down there! I've spent many a summer down there! My mom will be going down for my cousin's graduation on Tuesday! I wish I could go but I must work! It looks like you are enjoying yourself and the DELICIOUS food! Don't work too hard and eat some fried pickles for me! :-)
What part of Mississippi do you visit?
Fried pickles?!? I've never heard of that! Is that a Mississippi thing?
