Well…it looks like all our work may have been in vein, but you just never know what to expect with Hurricanes – especially a Category 4.  Basically, our family friend Benny (who helped Dad build our house) went out of town today, so we only had his help yesterday.  While we didn’t think Mom would [...]

I would like to sincerely thank the cable TV networks for insuring that our DVR is not totally empty this summer.
