2nd week of Build, Storms, and mor Storms

 We attended the St. Paddys Day Parade and got lots of vegetables.   Cabbage, potatoes, onions, carrotts etc and a very badly broken fingernail..    Oh did that hurt.  Oh well, as Ally said it was the purple polish I had on that was a great target. LOL
We had a good second week of the build but missed having the college students.   Also it decided to RAIN, like Hell. I thought I was back in Michigan and had a storm coming across the lake.   This one came out of the Gulf of Mexico and just sat and spun around for a couple of days.  We did not work on Thursday due to the storm.   Now we have friends with us, Jim and Linda Matheny, who have been stuck by lightening three times and this was no exception.   Lightening hit a transformer right in front of their motorhome and I about jumped out of my chair when it hit.   Needless to say all of us were a little jumpy the rest of the day.
We left Louisiana on Saturday morning heading to Natchez Mississippi, oh by the way, with Jim and Linda.  We are staying in Vidalia La just across the river from Natchez and are sitting right by the river watching the barges go up or down river. What a wonderful sight and so relaxing.    We did lots of sightseeing here in Natchez, went to a Casino and now tomorrow we are heading up the Natchez Trace and will arrive in Nashville Tennessee on Friday.
