We decided to work on Saturday morning to finish up the doors. We had to finish up the small closet door, and install the bedroom door. Each door seemed to have it’s own challenges, but we overcame them. All the doors were installed before we left on Saturday!
Saturday night, we were treated to homemade shrimp gumbo from couple from Louisiana. It nice to have this special meal with the team on our anniversary. Joe and I brought a delicious chocolate cake for dessert.
On Sunday after mass and lunch, we decided to visit one of the local ‘highlights’ …. a 2 story outhouse. In 1872, Samuel Gammill built the outhouse at the rear of his general store. There were apartments upstairs, and the second floor of the building connected to the second floor of the outhouse across a short ramp, giving 19th century tenants a private bathroom. The store was torn down in 1984, but the outhouse was carefully spared.
On the way back, we had a good look at the machine that cuts down the corn stalk and pulls out the cob automatically. Very cool!
