To catch everyone up...we are in Beaumont working insurance claims for Hurricane Ike. We were in Yellowstone when the storm hit and not planning on being back in TX until November. But as they say, money talks! It was just too good to pass up. Right now we are working 7/12's at least. After being retired it is really hard to work those hours....Mike is climbing 10 to 12 roofs each day and I am on the computer until the wee hours. Don't know how long we can keep up this pace...I have us scheduled thru the 14th of Oct. Think we will take a day off then!! At least we are not in the Galveston/Crystal Beech area where all the houses are gone. Mostly we are seeing roof damage and some damage from trees blowing onto houses. Ike was such a terrible storm because of the duration, thank goodness it wasn't any stronger than a 2.

My Mom & Dad are settled in Georgetown. Not too happy about it yet but if they will give it a chance it will be good. Tanya took them to one of Justin's football games, their neighbor invited them to a cookout and Evelyn comes up all the time. Now it is up to them! Daddy is happy because he has a little shed to go out and "work".

Time to get back to work!!
