Galveston Island Rebuild and the beach

This is Zane this week at the beach in Galveston. Isn't he adorable, but notice how clean and pristine the beach looks after the horrible hurricane Ike came to visit. Jay is down working on the rebuilding on Galveston Island and Sarah & Zane go to visit weekends. It looks alot more fun than we had moving Ross' parents to a new place to live. We all worked our tails off, but I must say it was well worth it. The new place is very nice and I think they are going to be alot happier there. It is a very positive thing for them and the duplex is so adorable! They were in a cottage at a senior living development, but decided it wasn't for them. I totally agree and this is much more cheerful! Tomorrow is the garage sale.......... oh fun! :)

Hurricane Ike Part 3

Sarah said they have electricity & water now and that they had friends staying with them who are still without electricity and some restaurants are open in their area so they can go out if needed. My brother and his wife do not have electric yet at their house, but they are closer into Houston than Sarah. I guess they are okay but I am sure they are not having a picnic! My sister-in-laws sister came up from the Edna area and brought them ice chests of ice and a generator, but I guess my brother did not hook up the generator. I know if you don't know what you are doing it can back feed into the power lines and kill the guys working on the power lines.... I do not know if that was his reason or not, but they could go up to the kids if they get tired of ruffing it. I guess Wes wants to go to work! :) Well I would too if they have electricity and air conditioning!
