More on my son's trip
Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2007 3:11 am Heard from DS again tonight, wow he sounds busy! He got the "servant of the day" award today, that's pretty cool. And they had a crawfish boil. Now, around here, we call them crawdaddies and they aren't big enough to bother eating. But apparently he came in second in how many he was able to wolf down! He's actually been sleeping pretty cold at night, due to a misunderstanding about how many bags he could take with him. But one of the guys in the group managed to round up enough blankets that he's ok now. Some guys from Michigan (?) brought their guitars with them, so he's been like a pig in slop, playing on those in the evenings. Looks like they will be through with all they can do to the house they've been working on by tomorrow afternoon. They might get to go see what the rest of the group is working on. Looks like it will be nice out, they might even do a bit of sightseeing. "They" being DS and the builder he's been working with. Who also happens to be the guy who came in first in the amount of crawfish devoured. Wouldn't be surprised to hear that the two of them went looking for more of those! The weather guy is calling for rain on Friday, it'll be interesting to find out if the Friday plans work out, they want to do some cleanup work in the 9th ward. Trying to minimize the influx of rodents. Talking of rodents, and back home, DD and I had tea at a friend's house- she lives in a log house she and her husband built when they were newlyweds. The shingles they split for the roof had to be replaced as a result of a chimney fire earlier this year. Apparently, in the 30-odd years since they built the home, mice and birds have been tucking little nests into the gaps in the shingles! Cute to think of all the lifeforms their home has been home to, but with the new metal roof, guess they'll have to find other abodes. Didn't get anything done in the garden today, hoping to get a battery for the mower tomorrow, and maybe get some pictures snapped of the wildflowers. I did pick up three pots for my tipsy-pot to go on the front porch. But now I have a raging headache and this screen isn't helping so I'll sign off. This blog entry has been viewed 140 times

Sounds like your son is busy but still having the time of his life.Maybe the rain will hold off until he gets home.
DS sounds like he is having a good time. It is great to see him and his group helping. Tell him to watch those crawfish, they are addictive. Hope your head feels better Mary.
Your son did well to come in second in the eating contest. I wonder just how many crawfish he managed to swallow? I hope he doesn't suffer any ill-effects. Knowing boys though he'll be fine because they all seem to have stomochs like cast iron don't they?!!! LOL He's definately doing well on his project. The 'Servant of the day' award - not bad, not bad at all!! You must be soooo proud of him.
Thanks :) The headache turned into a full-blown migraine, but it doesn't hurt anymore.
