Wisteria

Craig told me the family really loves this house. I surprised the daughter who looks to be about your age. So although, she let me take pictures of the outside, I did not get a chance to see the inside. THIS IS A REAL HOUSE!!! With cars in the drive way, and directv hooked up. It is wonderful. You should all be very proud.

Meeting Miss Mary

After Craig and I went to lunch. He dropped me back off at Back Bay and I walked across the street to Miss Mary's house. Once she remembered me, we talked for about a half hour, although her son Michael was not there, he has done a ton of work to that place.... it is such a cool house. In the pictures look closely, he has painted white sculptures that resemble sea horses and turtles. But the absolute best is that he painted several things inside, including cartoon fish, which Mary said he has a name for each of them, based on the young volunteer girls that worked on his house. It is really a neat little house and also notice, the white picket fence instead of the chain link.

The House on Bohn

After talking with Craig, he told me that he was in Gulfport and would be a half hour before meeting me. I decided to go knocking on doors. I went to the house on Bohn, and knocked, I could see someone peeking through the blinds, and I asked if he remembered me. He opened the door a little bit, and I told him my students painted his Cowboys swing. He was then all smiles and showed me his whole house. Daryl said he was very blessed and he thanked us a lot. When I told him, I wanted to take a picture of him on the swing, he went back in the house to get his Dallas Cowboys hat on. It was a wonderful first stop.

I have posted several pictures from his house.
