Home Safe

Last weekend, my brother Joe, my son Tim, and many other volunteers were helping clean up near the Gulf coast in Mississippi. The weekend before, my son Nathan was down there with the same group of volunteers. I know Nathan was quite sore and tired when he got back. Nathan's scout master was also with both groups and sent him a nice little postcard letting him know how impressed he was with his hard work and attitude.

Nathan could not believe how many trees were gone, many just looked like broken toothpicks. The area he was cleaning had many intact homes, he was amazed how so many trees and limbs could be down and more in the yard than what hit the homes. He also learned that the aerosol bug spray dissolves tree sap nicely. Scary thought!
