Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum...

I know you are anxiously awaiting more photos of the house demo, but like the airhead I am, I left my memory card in the converter in my computer at work...so I dont have the photos....

I also dont have memory card for my camera to take any pictures this weekend..ya know..for Easter...so...I also have no idea how much a new one would cost....my memory card is pretty big, a thick perfect square..not a small one like I see in the newer cameras so I am hoping it is available somewhere...

anyway...today had been pretty much a lounging day..I cleaned the kitchen and did a few loads of laundry..the boys played in the water some and Christian has done a lot of tantrum throwing...Chris got to leave early from work..as it was slow..if you can believe that..so that has been our day...our a/c is on the fritz so it hasnt been to pleasant today until this evening when it cooled down some...yada yada.blah blah blah..

I know most of you dont follow all of the twilight blogs out there, but I do of course...here are a new pics of Roberto/Eduardo from the set of New Moon ...(i tried to put more up but for some reason they wont copy)

Remember Ike?

It seemed so long ago that Hurricane Ike roared through this area leaving massive amounts of destruction in its wake. Most of us have forgotten the 2 weeks without power, have rebuilt our fences and repaired our roofs (rooves?). Not too many blue tarps remaining, and all of the boats have been removed from Hwy 146. Many are still fighting with the insurance companies, but most have moved on. Most...there are some whose lives have not been the same since last September, the last six months have been one long mess, frustrations with insurance companies, fighting to get from them what you are due, still not getting it even after fighting, FEMA, wondering when life will get back to some normalcy, more FEMA, wishing you had a house instead of a room to live in, thinking you are intruding on your family if you need a place to stay (whatever!!)

Anyway, along with many others I am sure, 2 of those people are my parents. They have been dealing with all of these things and more since IKE. They had 3-4 feet of water in their house, a cracked slab, loss of everything on the second floor, a destroyed motorcycle and everything that goes along with a giant wave swirling through the bottom floor of your house and garage. That was 6 months ago and it finally looks as if there is light at the end of the tunnel.

This is the house my parents have lived in for 30 years.
This is the house my brother and I were both raised in.
This is what it looked like Wednesday morning at 8am.

It has already been gutted, the front porch removed and all utilities to it cut off and removed.

This is what began happening about 30 minutes later...

TO BE CONTINUED......
