Livingston, Texas

Tuesday the 25th we made it on to Livingston. We got all checked in and set up and stayed in the rest of the day. The middle of the afternoon here with the heat and humidity is not a pleasant thing.

Wednesday morning we checked in with the Volunteer Coordinator at Care and then went to take care of a few errands.

Thursday morning we had a volunteer meeting and then started in "shadowing" the couple we will replace on June 1. There is lots to do and lots to remember. There will be 5 new couples (including us) taking over. One other couple besides us is staying for June, July and August. The other 3 are just here for the month of June.

The participants that are here are sure special people. They appreciate all we do for them.

So far we have mainly worked in the kitchen. Other duties are driving them to appointments and being on call at night. Usually not too much goes on when you are on call and that is what you hope for--no emergencies.

Today we have having a typical Memorial Day cook out with potato salad etc. Think we will settle into a routine once the couples we are replacing leave. They are really a nice bunch and have had a good time together. Think we will enjoy our crew as well.
