One last photo...

This was the entire ride home...

Team Webb Building Dec. 21, 2010


Today was our last full workday and we arrived early; the first team in again! We had a quick meeting with Marsha over some of the ideas we had the day before and talked about what we could improve on before we prepared for our final client meeting before we head back home. We had a team meeting before lunch to discuss our client meeting and how we wanted to show the client the new information and designs we had worked on. We went to Moody's for lunch and had some wonderful home cooked meals and delicious desserts, such as peach cobbler, blackberry cobbler, coconut pie, apple pie, lemon pie, I am sure that I missed one. We came back and finished some last minute details for our client meeting. We met with Chad and Patti to discuss the new designs and room layouts; Lestar Martin sat in our meeting and gave us some suggestions. We finished our meeting and then discussed the outcome as a group over a scoop of ice cream from Skipper's. We came back and wrote our journals and then prepared for the lecture by Ray from Louisiana Mainstreet.

STARSTRUCK- Edward Cullen was in MINDEN and he sat with us!!
