TG -- and IF, too

Yes, it's Friday... and during most work weeks we're grateful for the coming weekend. I guess this weekend isn't much different in that respect, We're grateful this week, too, but our feelings are very mixed. There's just so much more work to be done.

27,000 FEMA trailers in Mississippi are still "home sweet home" for tens of thousands of people who'd love to be somewhere else. And though we'd all love to be in Los Angeles with our loved ones, we want to stay right here, too.

Our crew, the framers, have made such great progress on Dena's house that we're filled with new energy. As we're sitting in here having our early morning breakfast (a delicious cheese-and-spinach strada"!), the crew has been brainstorming on how to finish her porch and roof before we have to pack it all away this afternoon.

Yesterday was especially rewarding, because we wrapped the house in a moisture barrier and installed the windows. Between that and the almost-completed shingling, the house looks very different from when we arrived.

No time for more blogging... You all have our love... See you soon.... There's so much to be done!
