Chick-fil-A was awesome, wasn’t it? And, we’ll keep going back on the few times we get food out.

It was great. I like the salad with grilled chicken.

I hope all those people vote.

Exhausted. The grass at the old house hadn't been cut since before the fire, and I was out there in 95 degree heat cutting it because some areas had gotten almost knee high. We almost have the outside of the house neat and tidy again (less the obvious fire damage, of course), so as to keep from violating local ordinances.

So sorry you’re going through all this. Where are you staying?

They most certainly do vote, and we pray the Lord does not let the forces of Hell steal the election.

Hi, Viking!

You’re plugging along like a super trouper!

You need your rest tonight!

Well, we're staying at my son-in-law's house, and we're taking over the mortgage on it after we finish dealing with the bank at the other house. They were already at the tail end of closing on a new house themselves, but it's gotten dragged out longer than anyone anticipated, so it's a bit cramped quarters at the moment. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, though - they're supposed to close Thursday, and they're already packing. It's hamstrung us in that we can't do much more about salvage and recovery than we had the weekend of the fire, because we haven't had the room to do it. Plus, we have two rooms of new furniture on order, and it's going to require precision timing to have a place to put it all when it gets gets here. Then there's all the kitchen appliances. The new oven we had (less than two weeks old at the time), and the fridge are going to be brought over from storage first and cleaned, then the washer and dryer, and we're buying a new dishwasher this week, since they're taking the current one with them. And I have some repainting and carpet cleaning to do while all of this goes on. Then it gets really fun. LOL

That's where I'm heading, Gina - straight to the rack!

It sounds so involved, but good that you have a house to live in. How far away are you from your old house?

I sincerely agree.

These are some (bad and small) cell phone pics, from that day, and during the salvage operation - they really don't show the heat, smoke, and water damage that well. They're a bit dark, since they pulled the power meter and cut the line at the pole:

Here were the kids we lost - Nigel and Dixie - they were found in the bedroom (3rd pic above):

My browser broke last night and I couldn't say goodnight. What a bizarre Escape. It definitely was an early one.

Hi Dr, I had computer issues last night. Thanks for the CFA recommendation last week.

Wow, Viking! Those photographs give me flashbacks of Katrina here on the MS Gulf Coast that washed away so many homes and businesses. I lost a bunch of my “stuff” to Katrina—not everything, but enough.

As you said, though the pictures show in 2-D the terrible aftermath, they can’t fully convey the extent of the devastation—like when you actually stand in the middle of the rubble where homes used to be, and then it really “hits home.” I know how that feels. It’s awful.

Yea, it was also badly written. Oh well.
