Then had our community strategic meeting. Not sure why I keep going. It's hard to feel like anything is getting done or will ever go anywhere when you are being told "but we will get sued" to everything.

And The kids wanted to do something to help the homeless and decided they would make and give out some homeless care packages. We have done little 1 gallon ziplock bag ones before, but decided to go bigger this time. We asked for donations and got many good items and more items we couldn't even use. We also made a gofund me page and made a few hundred dollars!

I'm not in the habit of taking pictures everyday. So I totally dropped the ball on getting some while at my friends Meredith's house. But the kids had a great time.

Leaving New Orleans today. Still is my favorite city in the states. While I was packing up the room troy took the kids to breakfast, because lets face it its easier to pack sans kids! Apparently the hostess who has been visiting with the kids all weekend decided they behaved so well that they should get a treat. She took them to the Hilton Pantry and told them they could each pick a treat......Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17250630542580441208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665574963985764260.post-62750871787393490662016-07-18T23:14:00.000-05:002016-07-22T23:15:45.870-05:00Reminiscing of roadlife! And NOLA zoo day.
Tonight we went out for dinner with a crew while in New Orleans for a quick job. Meeting a new roadwife and chatting with her made me really miss our roadlife. I shared this blog with her and looked back at all our great moments. I had forgotten some already. And I noticed that I haven't continued with this blog much. After noticing how much I have all ready forgotten I decided to kick it Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17250630542580441208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665574963985764260.post-64096009064094172942016-07-17T00:16:00.000-05:002016-07-23T00:16:36.178-05:00Whitney Plantation and slavery museum
To understand where we are, we need to know how we got there. I post a ton about Black Lives Matter on facebook because it's important to me. But I refuse to be an armchair supporter that sits home and just posts stuff with no real action. My two main goals are to be a voice to call out racism and to do the best I can to make my kids, the next generation, more active in ending racism.
