We are no longer "Winter Texans". We left the Valley yesterday and had a long day of traveling. The traffic was not bad until we got to Houston and I think that about finished all of us off. We did drive about another 85 miles to the Beaumont area and found a Flying J truck stop to get, fuel, propane and a place to PARK. After a light dinner at the restaurant we all crashed.
Today we traveled on to Louisana and got all set up in the RV section of the Habitat for Humanity where we will be living for the next two weeks. Imagine our surprise to find out we are working in the subdivison that Oprah and Bon Jovi started. I remember seeing her show about the subdivision she was starting in Louisana and the families that we chosen to live here. We have met several of the young children and some of them have very interesting stories of how they were rescued from New Orleans and also all the things they have been given and telling so about all the celebarties that have come here to work. I remember one in particulary, William Shatner. They say you never know when someone special is going to show up so hopefully we will meet someone famous. Ha Ha. We will start working tomorrow and I am sure we will have lots of interesting stories to tell before and after we leave here. There are six motorhomes here and we saw two van loads of people come in later this afternoon who are staying in a couple of houses that belong to Habitat.
Will keep you informed but right now I am going to bed. We have to report EARLER than my liking tomorrow morning.
