I Can Tell That We Are Going To Be Friends

Ike Strikes

Just to give you an update... our roof has about 100 shingles missing from Gustav. On September 12, 2008, the morning Ike hit, there was a little more damage. The roof started leaking in some places. So Brent got up there in the rain gusts and started nailing a tarp over the area. Ha! Ha! For all his efforts, he should have put his arms out and gone for a ride. Just kidding. He did a great job and I even got to help. When we realized we didn't have enough tarp to cover the roof we called our pastor. He and a few other guys came over and started tarping (is that a word?) the whole roof. Mrs. Johns, you would be so proud. Our whole neighborhood can see our "Good Samaritan" roof.

Right now we are waiting for waters to recede from Ike. We hear the south wind is keeping the waters in the bayous from going back out. Our home never flooded and we are so thankful, because our neighbors did.
