New Orleans

I'm on my way to New Orleans to work on a team doing home repairs. We will work with project homecoming which provides free labor enabling the residents to afford the repairs. On the way I was able to stop in Atlanta for a few days to visit my daughter Lauren and her husband Ethan. We had a wonderful time riding bikes...attending Ethan's Spanish class at Georgia State .... hanging out with the boys of the family who employs Lauren as their nanny...and just having some special Dad/daughter time. My destination for Saturday was Pascagoula, Mississippi. On the way I was able to stop and see Auburn University. I ran into a major traffic jam...Once I arrived in town I discovered it was their spring football game..... they are as optimistic as all fans are....this is their year! I arrived in Pascagoula, checked into the hotel an then took a ride to the beach ...just a few miles away ... and rode along the beach for a couple of miles just enjoying the view of the Mississippi sound. The concerts at First Baptist Pascagoula and Bel-Aire baptist in Gulfport went very well! I was glad to arrive at the Olive tree ...the place the volunteers stay...more about that later this week.
