We have arrived at Lake Charles. We actually are staying at Moss Bluff, which is just across the river (more like a swamp), from LC. We live in an old Middle School. The dorms are OK, but the showers/bathrooms are pretty primitive. Oh, well, we all have our cross to bare.
We went to church yesterday (a lesson in Ridgecrest appreciation), ate some good seafood and did some shopping (for food). Then we got to visit our work site. We are working on a house in Fenton, about 20 miles from where we stay. The home belongs to a single mother whose son is in college. She had serious roof damage during the hurricane. FEMA came in and tarped the roof, but the tarping material was super thin. It melted in the heat and then the rain messed up all of the inside. We are taking out a sliding glass door and framing up a new standard door. Also gutting and redoing a bath. Then lots of painting and a little drywalling. The foreman said he thought we would be there 2 or 3 days and then move to another site. I think that we will be lucky if we get this project finished. I hope that we can git'r done. The owner has been living in a FEMA trailer (about 8'x20') for almost 3 years. If God blesses us with success, she will be able to move back in by the end of the week.
More later.

Sounds like you have your work cut out. We will pray for success so that she can move back into her home.
I am glad you remembered how to log into your blog. I was beginning to wonder. :) Kelly M.
