After almost a month, 2 sides are done and the plywood is on the roof. At this point we have given the project over to a "pro" who will complete it. Hopefully, next week will see it all done. The guys have worked hard and with only a single "indident" when Tim left a hammer on the top of the 8 foot ladder and it came off and hit Clint. This completed the part they are doing! I sure wish that Sharen's son Caleb lived close enough to come do the work for us - but alas, we are in the little town that every one leaves to find work.....

The garden is coming to an end - things are ripening and I've blanched, frozen, and eaten all sorts of fresh veggies!! Next will come the apples that are ripening as I type.

Sister Sharen came to visit last weekend and we had a wonderful visit. She took some lettuce and apples back with her - as well as one of the cauliflowers. I sure had more than enough of all 3!! We went to visit Powers with a stop in Myrtle Point to see if we could catch up with any of our old acquaintenances there and we found one to give us an update of many of our old friends. We spent a little time at the Mill and then it was already time for her to head home. They are planning to visit us in Florida next April and it will be wonderful to show them around that area!

We now have 2 new little houseguests. They are only staying with us for a short time - as our time in Coos Bay will be coming to an end shortly. Keith has planned for us to visit S'te and family before heading back East.

I spent several days following Ike and have heartfelt sympathy for the victims of that horrible storm. I remember all to well waiting for the "all clear" back in 2004 after both Francis and Jeanne and again in 2005 waiting for Ivan to clear out and the infrastructues to be repaired enough to go "home" again!! It is for the newest victims that I pray that all the missing be found and the necessessities to be repaired enough for them to return home safely.
