Rain, rain and more rain. Because we have been getting so much rain (8" fell today - Monday - in some parts of NOLA -- schools and city offices closed early and Tulane University canceled classes), we began our work day by covering the floors of our houses with protective paper. However if you weren't soaked by the rain outside the house, the humidity got when you were working inside.
Ron and Seth are much closer to having clear lists of work to do, so that we can prioritize our tasks and make clear assignments. In some cases we are undoing work completed earlier, in others we are taking the next step, and in some we are still trying to figure out how to do what needs to be done. We'll begin to roll soon.
We continue to receive information about increasing financial support. Jeff White of Mediapolis, Iowa, has sent money to Bethany in Menands to support our work. Likewise, Sydney Lemire (age 6) had her dad, Jim, forward all the One Great Hour of Sharing money that she had saved this year -- $22.94! These last two push our total up to: $16,218. Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine we could raise this much!
Our last five rebuilders will be here tomorrow - Tuesday. Kevin and Allen have reached Birmingham, AL, and are within striking distance for Tuesday; JoEllen and Tom are still on the road and should be here tomorrow. Marcia should be here any minute - she was flying into TX.
Finally, you need to know that the weather forecast for tomorrow indicates that by mid-afternoon tomorrow - Tuesday - the rain should stop.
