Today we got up really early. At 6:00. We ate a quick breakfast, and then headed to the vans for a road trip. After our usual morning routine of getting lost, we got on the right track at 7:15. We were driving to Emergency Communities, a soup kitchen and supply house for residents in Buris. While there, we set up a pool, cooked and served food to residents, cleaned up lawn space, unloaded a supply truck, did a lot of dishes, talked with people who were victims of the storm, and more. After lunch we discovered that the volunteers were not prepared for the amount of firepower that we packed, and they ran out of chores for us to do. We decided to bail around 2:00. We had a smooth ride home.
After we arrived back at our house, we all showered and played a spontaneous game of soccer. We decided to make dinner for ourselves, so we sent Bill to the grocery store to get macaroni and cheese ingredients, and salad. It was lovely. After dinner, we played a hardcore game of charades. Nancy hit the town for a full night of partying and laundry doing. Although some of us felt unfulfilled with the Emergency Communities experience, the fun filled afternoon more than made up for any disappointments.
The end.
