Great kickoff to the Legacy Build!

My cabinmates here at Camp Caney just north of Minden, La., site of this year’s Millard Fuller Legacy Build, have shut off the lights on me. Oh well, it’s hardly the first time I’ve been without a light bulb over my head. My first blog of the night was truly brilliant, but you’ll have to take my word for it because the computer just froze and erased it. The joys of reporting from bayou country.
So I’m working on this blog in the dark, which means you’re gonna have to forgive any typos. But there was little else dark about this day, which started in the pre-dawn darkness of our departure from Americus, Ga., and is ending with the midnight darkness of northwest Louisiana.
There was an awful lot of Louisiana-themed fun at today’s kickoff for the Legacy Build, including an amazing dinner of jambalaya. There were even beads thrown and mardis gras-style dancing and parading. The Webster Parish Fuller Center’s Charlie Park inspired everyone, as did Fuller Center for Housing President David Snell … and a massive cake in the form of the entire Legacy Acres subdivison. This just might be the first Legacy Build where homeowners took their houses home to eat.
I’d better quit typing before my cabinmates throw me in the lake here where many of the volunteers are staying. Besides, gotta be on site at 7:15 a.m.!
