A slower week

As previously mentioned, we had folks at the first of the week that came down with the 52 foot truck. Church members came to help unload: it took two days, because some of the folks David counts on were not available to help.

The truck left Sunday night. The members stayed until Wednesday, helping in various ways.

On Monday, I helped to compose the email which will go out to folks who worked on the Kuhn house. Those will be sent this week.
For those who knew Duke Kuhn: someone donated money to the church to buy new Bibles in
his name. The inscription reads "In memory of Billye "Duke" Kuhn"

Although I worked on the beverages, kept the desk and worked in the Thrift Shop, it was wonderful to have half a week break from the large crowd that was here previously.

I have learned that there are two types of folks who have lived through Katrina: 1) those who see themselves as victims and feel the world owes them a living, therefore everything should be given to them, and 2)the survivors who have picked themselves up and done the best they can with what they have, which often is not much. The survivors are always glad for whatever low priced items are available, and never complain about prices, which are intentionally low.
There are more survivors than there are victims, but both exist in this world.

On Friday, I rode to Sams club with Barbara, but they did not have everything that I needed.

The next church group, from Erie, Pa, will arrive after supper tonight with 18 folks.
