Thank you for the compliments my raccoon. I am in the process of putting another one together for a friend and I have learned a few things about the spacers that go between the front and the back part of it, so I am trying something different this time. I just received another package of patterns that I ordered. So I have a bunch of them work with down the line here.
The area has been denied federal assistance from FEMA. Reason being that the severity and magnitude of the damage is not beyond the capability of the state, local affected governments and voluntary organizations. But the Small Business Administration has declared the area a disaster area and that makes low interest loans Available to businesses and residence for repair, rebuilding, replacement of lost inventory machinery or whatever. Outside of the trailer park, the majority of the damage in the residential area is roofs, windows and siding. There are a few homes that are going to have to be totally replaced but they are in the minority per se. Most of the homes in town are dealing with their insurance companies anyway as are damaged businesses. With the exception of the five businesses that were very severely damaged and are going to have to be replaced along the main highway, the rest of them have open back up for business or a scheduled to, within the next week or two. Some have some repair work that needs to be done which is mostly replacement of glass and stuff. Goodwill has moved their operations to a temporary building until their building can be rebuilt. So things are moving slow but sure.
Since the weather is warming up out there I won’t be doing much outside the next couple of days other than watering my plants. I do have some grass mowing to do but I don’t know if I will do it today or not. I have an appointment this morning with my audiologist but other than that my day is free.
Baby, nice job on the cabinets. That bracelet was such a lovely gift. Beth, I bet these next two weeks are going to go by fast enough for you so you can kick out that person that is driving you nuts. Carol, beautiful job on your wall hangings. Sorry about your flag. There are a lot of us who have flags in our yards here where I am.
Well, my brain is not concentrating on what I am doing here, because I need to get dressed and get myself ready to head to town. So I am going to wish you all a nice day and get my act together
My clippers don't like sweaty hair and bog down. The sweat just sprays out from the blades. Not a fun thing to deal with but not much I can do with this kind of weather. 
I have it at 83* inside my house and it actually feels nice and cool to me!
