Just a bit ago Toni and I signed into the Camp Hope project. Quickly we opened up the two boxes ... thank you. Have not a chance to try on anything yet. Still have to get set up for the stay and start work in the morning.

Still very devastated here. Spent some time in Biloxi the other day. Terrible the damage in that area. Not far from the eye [of the hurricane].
In New Orleans, just north of the superdome you can see the waterline about 10 feet up on the walls of buildings. Most of the area surrounding the French Quarter and the Garden district, which to the most part was spared, is still not up and running.
Many homes and businesses are abandoned; rubble still is curbed and has been for months, roofs are still in tatters.
One thing that struck us both is that most of the churches have been repaired and are in good order yet the surrounding areas are still in tatters.
The drive was good/ we did get pulled over at customs and had to line up with passports in hand. They punched us into the system and never had to show any other info or have a car search. Thanks for the heads up as it could very well have happened and we were prepared with letters from Melissa and Ellen and I also brought my house appraisal and home insurance just incase. Better go and get settled in will email soon.
Thanks again and Happy New Year!
Mary
